Advice of Photographing Wildlife
Wildlife photography is a very exciting branch of photography, but it requires patience and dedication. It is very easy to become frustrated, but your efforts will be rewarded. Photographers may spend an entire day trying to get one particular shot! These tips are intended to either get you started photographing wildlife, or to inspire you to stick with it. There is a certain awe and beauty about capturing the natural world, particularly animals.
1. Be patient- this tip cannot be stressed enough. It is easy to get frustrated, but if you are willing to wait, you will be pleasantly surprised.
2. Don't get too close. It is likely that if you get too close to animals, they will run away. No matter if you are photographing in national parks, jungles, the wilderness, etc., it is of upmost importance to give animals space, and wait for them to come to you if they so choose (animal are very curious).
3. Photograph wildlife in their natural surroundings. It is fun to photograph exotic animals at the zoo, however it is best to exhibit wildlife where they actually live.
4. Play with using different shutter speeds. On one hand, if you photograph a bird flying with a fast shutter speed, you will "freeze" it in the action of flying. But with a slow shutter speed, you create a blurred effect.
5. Occasionally, the wildlife will compose the image for you (this is where it can be good to be patient). If you just look through your lens and observe the animals, you may be surprised and get some unique shots.
6. It will be in your best interest to purchase a zoom lens. Many times it will be hard to get close to wildlife, and a zoom lens gets you closer without putting you in danger and without disturbing the animal.
Remember to stay inspired by viewing the work of other wildlife photographers. You can search for wildlife photographers online or in photography magazines. - 2361
