Animals express their emotions too. It is a matter of discussion that how closely these equate to our interpretation of them, but there is no doubt that they express their emotions according to mood and mental as well as physical conditions. As in many other branches of photography, the secret is often patience.

Most people start in natural history photography as an extension of an existing interest. The problem is that almost all wildlife is wary, and some of it is dangerous too. It is all too easy to become so obsessed with getting a picture that you fail to notice the Tiger's mate that is stalking you: it may sound melodramatic, but it does happen, especially with scorpions and snakes.

Wildlife photography in their natural habitat provides an exciting insight into their fascinating and complicated world. It is fascinating and equally exciting to photograph a breath taking sunset or capture a colorful avian in flight. But photographing wildlife is no easy job. It is absolutely different from clicking a photo of a human being in cities. The subject, which is often difficult to spot may also be dangerous at times. A wildlife photographer must possess a sharp vision, loads of patience, courage and quick reflexes. Some basic aspects are described below which you would do well to pay attention to while trying to capture the wildlife in your camera.

Preparing Yourselves
Too often, photographers forget about one of the most important points of wildlife and nature photography - Preparation. Not only one must have a complete understanding of camera equipment, but also have a thorough understanding of the natural environment.

Subject Knowledge
One of the most important things to do before leaving for a photography expedition is to gain basic information about wildlife you want to shoot, which will be of great help to you. This includes their habitat and habits.

Dressing
Unimportant as it may seem, choosing the appropriate costume is as important as any other thing. Try not to wear flashy colors and strong smelling perfumes that would gain you unwanted attention. Most animals would associate black color with danger, so it is best to stick to light earth colors which would blend with the environs.

Guide
Most national parks in India will require you to be accompanied by a guide. Moreover, this will also help you get valuable information about the place. Keep all your equipment handy to avoid missing on a priceless shot.

Your Equipment Your Care
Wildlife photography requires delicate and costly equipment. It is better if you are fully acquainted with your stuff and know exactly how to use it. Do not forget to carry plenty of film as the opportunities may be many. Take absolute care of your film (if you do not yet own one of those latest digital cameras) and protect it from dampness and dust.

Protect Nature
The most important thing to remember is that you are a visitor to the home of animals. Take special care to protect their surroundings and obey the laws of nature. Do not leave the plastic bags and other unwanted stuff behind. Carry all the material outside and dispose off in a proper area.
