The plates necessary forthe work must be of extreme rapidity. Isochromaticplates will of course give somewhat better results sofar as the general landscape is concerned, but, owingto their sensitiveness to dampness, they are scarcely tobe recommended except for trips of a week or exigencies of camping do not allow of the carenecessary for their protection. As has been said before, a short-focus lens is ofpractically no use in animal photography; whenlarge animals are the subjects, they are rendered toosmall unless you are fortunate enough to be able toapproach to within very short range.
