Shooting wildlife

…Hi, here's…something you don't see everyday.…This week on the Practicing Photographer, I want to talk about going on safari.…Now, what you just saw was a, a bison, an American buffalo.…That we saw in a wildlife preserve in Oklahoma.…Now you may think, well, is that really a safari?…I promise…you, when there's a, a, a buffalo right outside your car going…bleh, bleh, over and over, yeah you feel like you're on safari.…

I've actually been on safari and its a really interesting way to shoot.…It's a really fun thing to do.…If you're into wildlife photography, or if you're just into animals.…It's definitely something to look into.…That said, you need to manage your expectations, photographically.…And understand just what it is you're getting into.…Now, in this situation, we probably weren't…actually in any danger from the blehing buffalo.…But still, we really didn't want to get out of the car.…And it made shooting very interesting.…I had a long lens with me, which was good.…I was able to get some okay shots of this buffalo, who is standing right there.…
