Built To Kill – 25 Breathtaking Closeup Photographs of AnimalsWildlife photography is regarded as being one of the most challenging forms of photography. It involves a thorough understanding of the behavior of animals and in addition to it, one needs to have sound technical skills, such as being able to expose in the right manner. It's all about being in the right place at the right time. Surprisingly enough, photographing some species may require stalking skills or the use of camouflage as well. Whilst wildlife photographs can be taken using basic equipment, successful photography of some types of wildlife requires specialist equipment, such as macro lenses for insects, long focal length lenses for birds and underwater cameras for marine life. However, since the advent of digital cameras and the never-ending quest for adventures, this practice has evolved into totally new heights. Even though we appreciate the end result, its definitely an understatement to say that these photographers have done a stunning job. They are absolutely marvelous and so are their photographs. Here are some of the most breathtaking close-up photography of animals during their aggressive mood or when they are about to make their kill.
