Wildlife Photo Tips



Here are some other tips to help make your photos turn out better.
· Frame the animal so its natural environment surrounds it. Try to avoid shots that have fences, cages or unnatural elements in view.
· Avoid distracting elements in the background.
· An animals features and colors will show up better in sunlight.
· Focus on the animal’s eye. If the eyes are not in focus than the entire animal will most likely be out of focus.
· Place the subject off-center in the photo.
· Consider using a monopod walking stick if you have the need for a tripod, but don’t want to carry one. A small beanbag can also work in a pinch for a tripod to steady the camera on.
· Tuck your elbows into your sides to help steady the camera.
· For photo editing consider a program such as Photoshop Elements. It’s a fairly inexpensive, useful program for working with digital photos.
· Carry a small umbrella in case you get caught in the rain and still want to take pictures. Carry a water repellent bag, or a shower cap to protect your camera.
· Take advantage of early morning and early evening light.
· Carry extra batteries especially if your taking pictures in the cold. If photographing in cold weather keep spare batteries in a pocket next to your body to keep them warm.
Practice using these tips next time your out with your camera and see if you don’t come up with some great shots.
