The   subject  of  wildlife   photography   hold   a   wide  range  of  individual preferences. In general you will require at least a   200-mm zoom lens  to   get anything more than general landscape pictures  at  kanha.  Ideally it  is  best to outfit yourself with a minimum of two lenses. For example 28-80 mm of wide-angle shots and a zoom lens  (100-300 mm)  for  close-ups  of  animals  and  the larger birds. Be sure to protect  your camera, lenses,  and  film from the  dust. Bring a supply of plastic bags, and don’t change lenses or film in bright sunlight or while moving in an open vehicle. Beanbags, monopods, and tripods may be useful for stability, depending on your equipment and the quality of the images for which you are aiming.

It’s a good idea to bring more film than you thing you will need. Don’t forget to pack at least   one extra camera battery.   Remember   that the   use of flash is prohibited inside the park.

It is virtually impossible  to get   a   good   shot   of an animal if your vehicle is moving or if the engine is on, causing vibration. Insist that your driver stop and turn off the motor. If you’re really serious about photography with a zoom lens, try to arrange a private vehicle, since other   people may cause camera  shake, even if they shift positions only slightly in their seats.

Try to tour the park in an open car, such as a  Maruti, Gypsy  or  a  land River. Inside a closed car,  your  opportunities  for  photography  will be  fare  more limited.

At the lodge or hotel, always store your film in a cool place.  Because  of  the tigers favored habitat (forest cover or “edge”) you should be prepared to use film with an ASA range of 64 (such as Kodachorome slides) all the way through 100,200,400and even  1000  ASA (for slides and prints).  Fast film is  especially useful at sunrise or sunset, or if a tiger is located in deep shade.
