Most of us take for granted the wildlife photos that we see on books, magazines or even on television. The truth is, there is much more involved in shooting wildlife images than just going out on a whim and photographing a few animals you encounter. Fast shutter speeds are necessary for most wildlife shots to keep away from distorted images from the animal’s movement.
