African Wildlife Photo Gallery, How To Fill Your Very Own With Great Pictures

By Carolyn Jones


For photographers, nothing will make them happier than being able to capture such great photo of an animal in Africa. For them, it would be a great opportunity just to at least have one photo. To begin your African wildlife photo gallery, a list of tips are provided down below to in order to achieve such accomplishment.

Go out early and leave late. This means, just before the sun comes out, you must already be outside and ready and you must also go back to your lodging late. There is a time of the day in which the called the golden hours, this is the time when many animals would come out and the skies turns to orange.

The lower you will be to the ground the better. According to those who are into this kind of photography, getting lower to the ground is what is needed to do. This way, you would be the same level as their perspective. Taking pictures in their perspective makes it look more dramatic and with story. This allows you to focus just with the animal leaving the background behind it.

Play with different angles. Most photography usually puts the subject in the center. Always doing this angle could bore your audience the moment your gallery is shown to the public since the concept just keeps on repeating. Try to put your subject on the side sometimes. This would allow you to let all the surroundings be seen while still focusing on the subject.

Four, look at its eye. If an opportunity arises, try to catch its eyes when it looks at you. Their eyes will bring your photo to life as their eyes depicts its mood and emotion. Your focus should be at it. Look at the animal and see what it is doing. When it is looking at a certain direction, do not cut it, capture the whole thing.

Know what shutter speed should you put your camera into. The perfect shutter speed is the key in being able to take a picture of an animal that is moving. If it is the wrong speed, it would just turn out as a blur or nothing is captured at all. Having the right one not only lets you capture it but will make it look for sharp and clear. An opportunity like that is hard to come by again so make it worthwhile.

Just prepare yourself for the right time to click those cameras of yours. You do not know when the right moment will happen. Prepare yourself so that when the time comes, you can really capture it. This needs time so just relax and be patient and everything will fall into places.

The harder part is when the animal is moving when you try to take a picture of it. Now, you just need to change the settings of your cameras for this. Canon users should set the auto focus to Servo while Nikon users to AFC. Those who have other brands can check which of the two it is gonna be as it just has the same settings.

Of course, it will not go as what you hope for at first, that is a given. Just keep on practicing with those shot of yours and eventually you would get the hang of it. It will not be hard for you since you love what you are doing.
