With a lot of practice, you can get great photos of the animals you see running around our beautiful city. Though you can’t get animals to pose for a picture, you can capture quality animal images by following some easy guidelines.
Get as close as possible to the animal.
Use the zoom on your camera as long as you don't go in to the digital zoom portion of it. Stay away from doing that so that your image comes out nice and crisp. As you can see in the shots blow. You can see how close I was to the raccoon as well as the squirrel.
Snap photos that show something characteristic of the animal.
Snap photos of the animal sleeping, eating, rolling around, running up a tree or just running away from you and your camera. Don't take a pictures of it looking at you on the flow ("unless you get down on the floor at his level")

Frame the animal as the main subject.
You want the animal to be the focus of the photo, as opposed to getting lost in the background.
Be patient.
Nature photography is often a combination of planning, luck, and patience. When photographing wildlife, choose locations where you have a high probability of seeing the animal you want to photograph, take the proper gear, then wait patiently for that lucky shot to happen.

Be calm and quiet.
Obviously, if you make a ruckus in the woods, the wildlife you hope to capture is going to leave. Likewise, if you find your puppy adorably playing with her stuffed animal and you race across the room screaming for someone to get your camera, your puppy will quit playing and turn her attention to you ("to figure out what your problem is"). The shot is lost.

Shoot away.
Take as many pictures as you can. The animal is going to be moving so shoot as many as you can so that you can catch them in a still frame in focus and with character.
