3 CAPTURING PARK WILDLIFE • Zoos are great places for honing your wildlife skills, but for a more challenging and rewarding shoot try stalking semi-wild parkland deer

LONG LENSES • If you’re serious about wildlife shots, you’ll need a telephoto lens. These come in both prime and zoom versions, and while primes are faster, a zoom gives you more flexibility. The longer the focal length, the more-distant subjects you’ll be able to focus on, but for a lot of wildlife, a 100-400mm or 200-400mm is more than adequate.

4 GET HIGH FOR MORNING MIST • A misty morning sunrise creates an eye-catching image, but you may need to shoot from above to get the best results

5 MAKE ART WITH CAMERA MOVEMENT • Use a slower than normal shutter speed and a smooth up-and-down motion to create expressive, painterly images in woodland

ND FILTERS • In bright conditions, the only way to reduce the light to get slower shutter speeds is to use a neutral density or polarising filter. In very bright conditions an ND that holds back more than two stops of light may be needed. Screw in or hold the ND over the lens to hold back the light. Simple!

6 GO TO TOWN FOR URBAN SCENES • Take advantage of the ways in which seasonal textures and colours impact urban environments to capture familiar sights in a new way

POLARISERS • A polarising filter lets you tone down or remove reflections in glass or water, and filters out any stray light bouncing around a scene, resulting in more intense colours. The downside is that it will rob you of about two stops of light at its maximum setting, so use a tripod to keep the camera still over the extended shutter speed, especially when using a small aperture to keep the scene sharp.
