10 pro tips for amazing wildlife and macro shots
Wildlife photography can be one of the most challenging genres the medium has to offer, and add to that macro – where close focusing amplifies any minor vibrations or movements – and you have no easy task on your hands.
|
That said, wildlife photography can be incredibly rewarding and there's no better feeling than when you've finally got the shot after long days waiting for the right moment, or even weeks, months and years in some cases!

Go Large And Shoot Digital Medium Format
From the earliest days of the medium, photographers have had the choice of different camera formats, and that is still the case with digital photography.
|
Full-frame 35mm is the dominant format but the smaller formats, Micro Four Thirds and APS-C, remain rightly popular among image creators preferring less bulky kit or want to exploit the benefit of their respective crop factors; 2x in the case of MFT and 1.5x/1.6x with APS-C.
|
Take the used route and we’re talking reasonably affordable, so if the pursuit of ultimate image quality appeals, this is a very realistic option.
