Shooting Adders Up Close: The Wide-Angle Wildlife Approach

Wide-angle wildlife photography is genuinely underused, and adders are a compelling test case: you have to get close enough that the snake fills the frame, which means reading animal behaviour before you reach for the shutter. The real skill here isn't the gear, it's knowing when the animal is relaxed enough to approach and when it isn't. Worth a read if you do any ground-level nature work, less urgent if reptiles aren't your scene.
