| Swan Ninepipe National Wildlife Refuge, Montana |
When photographing wildlife of any kind, you need to choose a shutter speed that will freeze their motion since they rarely stand still. If you are using a long telephoto lens, you also need to ensure your shutter speed is sufficient to control any camera shake you might introduce. Using an equivalent of a 320mm lens to photograph this swimming swan, I selected a shutter speed of 1/1000 second to ensure a sharp image.
