Firstly to begin with let me tell you wildlife I no wasy
thing t0 photograph. It is also very costly because you will need a good
telephoto lens wcich lets you keep your distance from wild animals and also a
macro lens which lets you get up close to subjects shuch as insects.
This post wil give you some tips to improve your wildlife
photography.
Get Close then Get Closer - While photographing subjects
that easily get spooked it’s a good idea to first keep your distance and get a
photo. If it doesn’t flyff well get closer and then even more closer. Until
your completely satisfied. For pictures of butterflies please chack my blog

Getting as close as possible and then keeping steady- Amnt animals
will run off at the sight of a human figure so a good option will be to hide
and capture a photograph. Once you think
you have got as close as possibel you should sqat or preferable lay on the
ground to maitain stabiliy of your camera.
Hone your skills- Before you go on a wildlife expedition to
Africa you should practice in your own neighbourhood. For example I love to shoot butterflies.
Which are seen everywhere so I suggest you do the same. You can improve your
skills of approach, framing and other technical kind of skills like exposure,
focus and so on.
If you don’t like butteflies just go outside you house and
find a good “practice subject” like birds to improve your skills. Then you can
move on to bigger and better animals.
Capture action in your frames- Capturing action only comes
with a lot of patience. You will have to sit there and look at your subject
waiting for the right moment. After you get your shot don’t clebrate, sit down
and try to get a better one. Acton in frames would be say an eagle about to
take fligh, a frog about to jump, a lion roaring and so on.

Pexels is a free stock photography website.
ReplyDeleteIt wasn’t until last year that I learned about this site (thanks to a reader), and I’m so glad I did.
I absolutely love Pexels. It’s the only website I use when I need free stock images for my blog posts.
I think this could actually be one of the most useful websites for bloggers. Especially in a time where visuals are a must for your blog content.
