I have lost count as to the number of times I missed a photo opportunity due to lack of patience. having patience is so crucial in photography, especially in wildlife photography. You sometimes have to wait for hours, just for one picture. Many wildlife photographers would wait for days, weeks even months to get that one photo. Sometimes I got lucky and managed to press the shutter button just as my subject was about to move off and it produced the image that I wanted, other times the result was just horrid. Working hand in hand with patience is knowing your equipment, as well as the final photographic effect you want to achieve. it is of little use to have all the patience before the shot and after you take it and check back you realize your shutter speed was off or your ISO was too high and your photo looks like it has more gains in it than there are grains of sand on a beach (the result of having your ISO value to high) I think that both these attributes are key to being successful in photography along with of course that all important element of practice, practice, practice!!!!
