If you are interested in learning how to take wildlife photos, Backpacker Magazine has a great article, “The Manual: How to Shoot Wildlife Photography”, that I found online. I often take my point and shoot Sony digital camera with me when I go hiking, but I rarely end up with any good photographs of wildlife.

This article stresses the “rule of thirds”, and shooting the animal at eye level, a technique I had not thought of. It’s a short and very helpful article.

Near the top of the article are links to other good articles in the series: “Find Your Prey”; “Conceal Yourself”; “Get in Position”; and “Shoot Like a Pro”.

I hope the article helps you take wildlife photos that you can be proud of. Many thanks to Backpacker Magazine!
