Saxen Van Coller- Some More Worthy Gear For Wildlife Photography

Wildlife photography is mesmerizing as well as a little dangerous. Here you are shooting in the wild and the untamed and you ever know when they turn hostile. Wildlife photography is extremely rewarding when done the right way and using the right gear.  Saxen Van Coller suggests that you need to consider some of the below mentioned things that prove helpful when we are taking pictures out in the wild.

Flash– most wildlife photographers generally prefer the warm tones of the direct low angle sunlight. But there are times when you need to use artificial lighting such as a flash maybe during the night time. In  this situation when direct low angle sunlight is unavailable and there is a need to fill light and catch the light in the subject’s eye flash is used. Cannon and Nikon produce excellent quality external flash lights that are powerful and give the desired results. If you prefer any other pick what works for you.

When you are out in the wild and patiently wait to get the perfect shot these tripods rest your camera. The difference in the image quality once you use a tripod is well worth the buy. Whatever company tripod you choose keep in mind that it can support the weight of the lens, tele-converters, flash, and the camera body. Saxen Van Coller personally suggests Gitzo GT5432 XLS and the Induro CT 213. Pick tripods that are super light and steady for ease and should extend up to your eye height without any extension post.

Never neglect how you will carry your equipment, as you will be facing a lot of harsh environments. It is necessary that you protect your equipment and look for a good quality bag either over the shoulder or backpack. Try a camouflage one that blends with the environment and make sure it is waterproof. Make sure whatever bag you buy all your equipment should fit even the biggest lens with ease. These are a few things that will add ease and convenience when you are out in the wild taking photographs.
