Two lenses -- one for most shots and the other for portraits. I also have a number of filters to add color when appropriate and for black & white photos.Feedback
Photographing wildlife always involves a degree of luck -- catching beautiful, charismatic creatures in the right pose with the right background. Get out into the wild as much as possible and exercise patience and perseverance. Truly good/unique wildlife images are rare, but when they do happen they're very special, memorable.
