5 Tips for Photographing Wildlife with a Long Lens. In this video I share tips on how to use a big telephoto lens for wildlife and bird photography including how to find the subject in the viewfinder, how to increase reaction times and how to pre-focus before your subject arrives. For demonstration I’m using a Canon 1DX with Canon EF 500mm f/4 lens.

Filmed with Canon M50 and 15-45mm lens.
Equipment: Canon 1DX Mark i, Canon 500mm f4 Mark i lens; Induro CT404 Tripod, Manfrotto MVH502AH fluid head
