Trying to photograph wildlife

If you had wondered why there is so few photos of wildlife I would like to explain…

Have you ever ntried to photograph wildlife? Before this trip I hadn’t but I was very aware of how much time it takes professional camaramen to get those shots we see on TV. Well, I have tried time anfter time after time to get some good shots for the web site but it has all been in vain. Basically I am at several disadvantages… firstly, I am using my phone for all my photos. Although the N95 is great as a basic camera there are several problems that mean I can’t get good wildlife photographs. It has a very basic lens and there is a big delay between pressing the button and the photo being taken.

Then there is the wildlife itself…. I see seals, everytime I get out the camera they dive. I see dolphins… they only pop up above the serface brielfly and the shutter doesn’t react fast enough to get them in frame. I try to get photos of surface swimming birds… they dive.

Basically, it is almost impossible!
