Are you able to seize no matter comes into view at any given second? Most of us aren’t. Why? Our digital camera is tucked away safely in our bag, ready for its subsequent journey. I’m ready for my subsequent journey additionally, however apparently, all my adventures for this 12 months have been canceled. So now what?
You by no means know what would possibly seem to take pictures of
Fortunate for me a household of foxes has taken up residency beneath my neighbor’s backyard shed. A couple of days in the past the kits made their first enterprise out into the yard and oh my gosh, they’re so extremely cute.
After they first got here out although I needed to run and get my digital camera out of my bag, change lenses and ensure I had put the SD card again in it earlier than I might exit and take pictures of them. Whew! I virtually or very simply might have missed them. I’d not have been joyful had that occurred.
Don’t miss one other shot
Somebody commented on one of many pictures I posted on Fb that that they had a fox (insert some other form of wildlife, birds, turtles, squirrels right here) come via their property they usually missed it as a result of by the point they went to get their digital camera it was gone. Has this ever occurred to you? It occurs to me on a regular basis, particularly with the cardinals that hand around in our yard. You’d suppose I’d be higher ready. In actuality, I’m not overly anxious about photographing cardinals so I simply don’t.
Be a great scout and be prepared

My digital camera and 100-400mm lens are sitting out proper subsequent to my again patio doorways and on a chair in my kitchen, so I can seize it and even shoot via my kitchen window if I’ve to.
I at all times have an additional SD card available and likewise ensure I’ve an additional charged battery prepared to modify out if want be. They’ve a routine we’ve realized over the previous few days so I additionally rise up and go verify across the occasions they appear to come back out to play.
If you’re in an space with a number of birds or squirrels, or wherever there could also be an opportunity of one thing photographic taking place, be prepared. Preserve your digital camera out, ensure your batteries are charged and your reminiscence playing cards are empty and able to fill. It doesn’t harm something to have your digital camera inside attain so that you don’t miss an awesome shot. I’ve even acquired my husband to verify his digital camera is charged, on the counter and out able to go.
