Lot is being said about the fact that summers are the best time to see Tigers in the wild. My rejoinder here is that entire year is good for Tiger sightings, but for Tiger photography summers is a tad better. Now, it really depends whether you are an amateur photographer or a professional one. But, one thing for sure is that the Tiger does not discriminate between the two categories, he would give equivalent odds to both. Technology today has given an equal platform to everyone. Undoubtedly it is the eye behind the camera which is important, but the technology has made life easier for beginners. Yes, I am talking about digital cameras now available specifically for Wildlife photography. So, consider yourself no less, as even the Tiger does not consider you any lesser.

You can request the two Head of States to shake hands again for that front page shot, but not the Tiger, and for that matter not any wild animal. So, the onus is on you to make the most of what comes your way. I have seen lot of professional photographers not happy with some exquisite opportunities they got to click the Tiger, while the amateurs were ecstatic with what they saw and captured. There are plethora of reasons for this difference in reaction to the same window of photography.
Now, the question arises, in which category you see yourself. Are you just an amateur, a serious amateur or a professional photographer? Each segment requires different awareness of the facts like, the terrain, habitat, tourism in the parks, what to expect and when, the light, etc. Most importantly do not be swayed by what you have seen in Discovery and National Geographic channels with regards to Wildlife photography. You as a normal photographer will not get those chances, but maybe better, it is unto you how you use them.
