Patrick Ryan McCann | Important Life Lessons While Shooting Wildlife Photography Wildlife photography is undoubtedly one of the most exciting photography genres available. It brings out amazing photos of animals in their natural habitat, which we either enjoy for the beauty of it or allows us to understand the animals better Wildlife photography brings photographers to a point where they are face to face with some really dangerous animals which people hear, read about, or see in confined areas in zoos. Thus, it has great risks and demands a great amount of care when dealing with it. Below, Patrick Ryan McCann highlights some interesting safety tips to help you safely take wildlife pictures with ease.
1. Make Someone know your Whereabouts as always. Patrick Ryan McCann advised that you should always keep someone in the know of your whereabouts, whenever you go off into the wilderness looking for some wildlife to capture on camera. It is normal for wildlife photographers to wander deep into the forest, jungle, or wilderness on their own because they do not want to scare off the animals, and in this process, there might be some dangerous incidents. Let someone who is not on that trip know where you are going, and when you plan to return. 2. Check the Weather Forecast to prepare for Unpleasant Weather. Bad and unpleasant weather is very dangerous to your cameras and gadgets, and the weather in Australia is very unpredictable. Having enough information about the weather for the day will help you prepare for it and save your gadgets from the harsh weather conditions. Many apps can give you accurate forecasts of the weather. It can help you know when the weather is rapidly changing and alert you to protect your gadgets adequately. 3. Always carry Essential Survival Tools. Never overpack your bags with cameras, gadgets, and accessories without taking along with you the essential survival kits for the forest, jungle, or wilderness you are entering. These survival tools will help you in the event of an emergency. ● Compass: To help you navigate your way and also to keep you abreast of your location at all times. ● Waterproof Paper Map: To get directions and know your terrain. ● Satellite Phone: In case of emergency. ● Water Straw/tablet: To purify drinking water. ● Fire Starter: You might need a fire to keep yourself warm at night and also scare off the wild animals. ● First Aid Kit: You might need to treat a wound ● Canned Food: You will be there for a long time, so you need to have a lot of nonperishable food at your disposal. ● Rechargeable LED Beanie Hat: To help.
