There are ideal times to take photographs of wildlife, and many times and situations that are less ideal. In this podcast, I talk about how to handle the following potential issues and common mistakes.:

Bad composition (and ideas to get around it)
Harsh lighting (what the limits are and ways to use the images)
Bad backgrounds (and a few suggestions such as varying depth of field while you shoot)

As photographers, we have a variety of tools available to us and you must know how to get the best from your wildlife encounters. If you're not sure about some aspects of photography or would like to start from scratch, please take a look at my photography courses.

I thought I'd try recording a podcast away from my usual studio, mainly because I've just reached Sydney after two weeks in Namibia, most of it well away from an internet connection.

So, how important is experimenting and how big a role should it play in your photography?

I'll also share a few things from my trip to Namibia, which included a couple of days in Etosha National Park.

There are a few things to consider when photographing wildlife as you'll often be off the beaten track. Here are a few of them:

• Who knows where you are?
• I suggest using "What3Words" as a way of letting people know where you are, or where you plan to be (find out more here).
• Have a good paper map and think about your 'plan B' options.
• Wear appropriate clothing (especially footwear).
• Be prepared for changes in the weather.
• Have a basic first aid kit suitable for where you are going.
• Follow a river (downstream) if all else fails!
• Carry a resilient form of id (for the work case scenario).
• Use insect repellent.

You want to have a successful and enjoyable trip, and a little forethought and planning should keep it that way!
