Tip #1. Always check metering settings before entering the field.
Tip #2. Carry a micro-fiber cloth with you, because clean lenses are worth gold.
Tip #3. Walk quietly. Avoid leaves.
Tip #4. Get there early. If you have seen geese in a field towards sundown, get in there around dinner-time, and set up gear.
Tip #5. Be patient. Wait for the shot. Expect no second chances, but take advantage of them.
Tip #6. Use what is available. Often, I have no tripod, so a bench or a rock may become a tripod.
Tip #7. Learn your gear. Do not shoot in Auto Mode.
Tip #8. Set your White Balance for every shoot. Sunny days, cloudy days...enough said.
Tip #9. Pay attention to backgrounds and depth-of-field.
Tip #10. Have fun and accept a success rate of less than ten percent, just sayin'...
