One of the most important things as a wildlife photographer is the gear you use. Wildlife photography is all about being patient and seizing every moment. To get the best of these rare, yet fascinating moments, you need to invest in high-end equipment. Here are some pieces that you might need.
Camera
A good wildlife camera should be able to focus fast and take at least ten frames per second. A high-end camera can shoot up to 20 frames per second. Another essential attribute that a camera needs is the low-light ISO performance for capturing clear photos under low light intensities.
Telephoto Lens
Wildlife photographers should invest in a telephoto lens, considering that it is not always possible to get close to some wildlife. A telephoto lens helps you take close shots 
from a distance. For starters, you should limit your choices to lenses with a focal length of 100mm onwards.
Teleconverter
Any wildlife photographer will appreciate anything that gives them more reach. A teleconverter, which is mounted between the camera and the lens, helps increase a camera’s focal length.
Fast Memory Cards
Most photographers do not need to pay attention to memory card speed. However, a memory card’s write speed matters a lot when it comes to wildlife photography. This speed is essential, especially when taking multiple frames per second, and you do not want to keep waiting for the buffer to clear.
Rain Cover
Wildlife photography means that you might spend long hours in wet environments. To protect your photography gear, it would be best that you add an extra layer of protection using a rain cover.
