When I go out to photograph wildlife, I usually have a specific species of critter in mind. The best images are the ones that I had envisioned ahead of time, carefully planned and executed. There isn’t anything left to chance. I make sure that I go to the spots or areas where the species is most abundant and I go at the time of year when I can expect to see the critter in good numbers. I also make sure to go at the time of day the critter is most active. This usually involves knowing the critter’s biology, habits, food preferences and so much more.
