Where must you study for wildlife photography?

Answer 1

Ideally "in the wild". But that takes time and money. One of the best places to start, however, may be at a zoo. While you're most likely not going to be able to many of the animals in motions as they would be "in the wild", you will get some activity. Same with an aquarium. If these are not available to you, consider a horse ranch or rodeo, because you're looking at action Photography a fair amount of the time. Frankly, good practice for wildlife photography can be at a sporting event, which will test your ability to do things like estimate lighting and focus in following a ball in play (if you're allowed in with photo gear, and college and high school games usually are fine with this), and if not then at a private game, but always ask permission. Having a lessor or two in a photography class geared to wildlife photography will be helpful too, because unless you have really top notch equipment that is fast and accurate with a top notch lens, and very few of us do, a lot of what you'll be doing is learning how to "pre-set" the camera for estimated conditions including lighting and focus, composition and panning, all of which which will take into consideration the kind of film (if you're going to use film) or ISO to use, and lens to consider.
