The problem — and the fix
Why most safari shots disappoint
- Missed focus on moving subjects
- Blown highlights at sunrise/sunset
- Shutter speeds too slow for action
- Flat composition and cluttered backgrounds
- Gear confusion: wrong AF modes, wrong settings
How we fix it before you fly
- Camera-by-camera AF setup and tracking drills
- Exposure playbook: auto-ISO, metering, and zebra checks
- Action-ready shutter strategy for birds and big cats
- Composition frameworks for habitat and portrait
- Fieldcraft: animal behavior and ethical positioning

Gear simplified
Body/lens pairing, stabilization, beanbags, and vehicle-friendly setups that work.
Fieldcraft & ethics
