Wildlife is one of the most technically demanding and rewarding genres of amateur and professional photography. According to Cary Wolinsky and Bob Caputo, who have a combined 64 years of experience photographing stories for National Geographic and other publications, whether you’re trying to capture a herd of elephants on the Serengeti Plains or squirrels in your backyard, the name of the game is patience.
But sometimes the stars align and things just happen. Your cat gives your dog a warm hug and all you have to do is take out your phone and press the shutter button before their unexpected burst of love ends in turmoil. Sure, these photos won’t make it to a competition like the Wildlife Photographer Of The Year, but there are other ways they can make people smile. Like the Instagram account, The Snuggle Is Real. It shares random animal photos that make people smile even on a rainy day, and who cares if the images aren’t that high-res when you’re grinning from ear to ear?
