Wild life photography requires a lot of patience as a photographer needs to wait till he gets a perfect shot of the animal concerned, while ensuring that he himself is not injured in the process.

Animals are often found to gravitate towards cameras wielded by photographers in the hope that they will be fed if they allow the photographer to get a good shot of themselves in the wild.

Wild life photographers need to be bold beyond measure as they could very well be attacked, bitten and killed in the wilderness that they venture into to get a prized photograph of an animal.
