Trying to get closer to a wildlife subject? One rookie mistake is fixating on that subject and not breaking eye contact as you move toward it.
Cuz you know what else does that?

Instead, only glance occasionally toward the subject as you approach and avoid as much direct eye contact as you can. You'll find they often let you get closer. Once in range, slowly move your camera into position and shoot as quickly as possible. Sometimes they see the lens as a big "eye" and it can cause alarm.
