Plan, be early, be smart about angles, use time wisely, and study up on the surroundings and the behavior of the animals. Do some research to find the best times to photograph certain animals and begin from there. Maybe take a test run and explore the area so that you know how far and where exactly you want or need to be. If possible study the animals behavior, even if only online. Get there early so that you have time to get the equipment ready and capture the beautiful lighting that comes with sunrise. Be careful of the angle that you shoot certain animals. A photo will seem more personal and have more of draw in more attention if you feel like you are on the same level looking directly at the animal. The whole excitement with animals is that we generally do not get to interact or even see many of the animals around the world, so the photographs shape the way we interpret the animals. Try to capture this in the picture. For instance, if you are shooting baby cubs, try and get their playful side. Try to portray their distinct and unique behaviors. I personally would love to shoot penguins, especially after watching the video. They are so little! My sister is obsessed with penguins and has had millions since I was little. In all of the pictures that I had seen they looked huge. I thought they were at least my size haha!
