2. Introduction to Wildlife Photography 

• Definition: Capturing images of animals in their natural habitat without disturbing them.
• Challenges: Movement, lighting changes, distance.
• Rewards: Unique moments and natural behavior.

3. Camera Settings & Techniques 

• Shutter Speed: 1/500 sec or faster for most animals, 1/1000+ for birds in flight.
• Aperture: f/4 – f/8 for subject separation while keeping detail.
• ISO: Adjust for lighting conditions — be ready for higher ISO in low light.
• Focus Mode: Continuous (AI Servo for Canon / AF-C for Nikon/Sony) for moving animals.
• Burst Mode: Capture multiple frames in quick succession.

4. Ethical Wildlife Photography 

• Keep a respectful distance — use zoom instead of approaching.
• Never feed or bait wildlife to get a shot.
• Be patient and quiet — avoid startling animals.
