Blooming wildlife.

People are easy(ish) they can generally do as their told, if they're trying to run away out of the photo you should probably stop chasing them with a camera.

Pets are generally confined to a certain area, so just shoot a few thousand pictures and sooner or later you'll get lucky.

Wildlife on the other hand is an absolute pain, it does what it likes and typically it likes to go away and hide.

What you'll need/want:

• A very fast camera (focus + fps [shots per second])
• Animals don't stick around for long, so that's why you want a speedy camera.
• Bait
• It's best if you can set up the picture by expecting where the animal is going. I don't mean bear baiting, but placing some bird feed is pretty handy.
• Patience
•  If you're hiding in plain site you may need to stay still for a while before the bears come back.
• Luck
• A massive zoom
•  If you can't make out the detail of the animal it's a crap shot, either fill the frame or make sure it's an interesting picture with the surroundings.

Saying that, I haven't had a good week of trying...

About an inch too far right, it's also got a building in the background making it cluttered. But the timing and focus was spot on, hurrah.

 I do like the motion blur on the wings even at 1/1600
