Tips On How To Fill Your African Wildlife Photo Gallery With Beautiful Pictures

By Carolyn Jones


There is nothing more that a photographer could ask for than to be able to capture amazing portraits of the rich African wildlife. However, it is not easy to capture just even a still picture of an animal for his or her African wildlife photo gallery. To help you get the most of your safari experience, here are tips that you can do in order to get that beautiful photo.

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.

Two, be as close to the ground. Some experts say that the lower you are, the better it will be. An angle in which you get to see them in their level of perspective is better because it would look more dramatic. The picture will focus more on the animal as the background will just be behind it. Also, the chances of getting pictures are greater since it will not be able to see you that easily.

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.

Six, be prepared. You have to be prepared for the moment in order to get a photo of it. If you ask some wild life photographers, they would tell you how hard taking just one perfect photo is. You have to wait for the perfect moment to come which at that time you already are prepared. Patience is needed for this.

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.

Trying to become a pro will not be easy, but if you just practice harder, you surely will be good at it in time. Keep these tips in mind and add apply it whenever you go on taking pictures. Nothing is hard when you are doing something that you love.
