Wildlife Photography: What's the best way to approach your wildlife photography? Should you plan meticulously with a specific image in mind.. or should you go with the flow and be more opportunistic? Whether it's taking the camera with you on a regular walk, or planned shooting from a set up hide, there's pros and cons for both. Do let me know which your preferred approach is - in the Comments Box below.
