1. Saxen Van Coller­ Gear You Need To Add Great
Value To Wildlife Photographs
Wildlife photography is one of the most evocative and difficult areas. It is an art
that every wildlife photographer needs to master. Great wildlife photographs are
a wonderful addition to ones a portfolio as it brings in the positive comments and
appreciation. Well, unlike indoor photography taking pictures in the wild are a
very difficult task. When one is outdoors, there is need of certain kinds of
equipment to get the best shots. Saxen Van Coller a wildlife photographer has
spent years travelling across various places to take the best pictures. No matter
what animal you are clicking it requires a specialized camera equipment to
achieve high quality images.
Starting with a camera body we need to add a lens, tripod, flash and other
accessories for photographs to be excellent. There is no list of equipment that is
perfect for any photographer as it entirely depends upon the subject.

2. Below are some of the things that you
need to pack for wildlife photography.

Without dwelling much on the
camera you can use the one that
you prefer. While picking the
camera make sure the body is good
and with a low light capability,
another thing is that it should have
a reasonable continuous shooting
speed and a large buffer. The
digital bodies allow the user to look
into a viewfinder and directly
through the lens to their subject.
These allow using a variety of
lenses owing to the sophisticated
auto­focus capabilities, having high
speed shooting capabilities along
with quick and infinitive change
settings.

The Lenses are probably the
most important aspect and
armory of wildlife photography.
Wildlife for the most part is shy
hence you need long lenses with
300mm are being a minimum
starting point. Another
important factor to consider is
the lens focusing speed, so look
for a lens that will focus fast
with the camera as the wildlife
does not have the habit to stay
still so choose fast prime
telephotos such as 300 and
400mm 2.8s

4. 
Teleconverters are another very
useful piece of equipment.
Sitting between the camera
body and the lens a converter
will increase the focal length of
your lens. When using this
ensure that you reduce your
maximum aperture by the same
amount so an f2, 8 lens will
become an f5.6 lens if used with
a 2x convertor. If the lens drops
autofocus abilities are reduced.

5. 
Macro Lenses these are another very
useful addition. These allow you to
focus closer to smaller wildlife such as
insects. To get the much closer action
there is always need for a macro lens to
get better shots. If you are a bit budget
minded then Saxen Van Coller
suggests you use other options such as
a Close Up Rings­ they effective filter
that sit on your lens and magnify the
image. Another option can also be Lens
Reversal Rings­ these are only suitable
for prime lenses and work by allowing
you to attach the lens to your camera
back to front allowing for much closer
focusing without the loss of any
exposure or auto­focus ability.

6. Wildlife photography can be extremely
rewarding. And with use of the above
mentioned equipment you can make things
easier. If you are new to this field then take
things one at a time and as your abilities
improve you may get better at it.
