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.

Stay close to the ground. Most animals are sensitive when they see humans, by being close to the ground, it cannot easily see you. This gives the opportunity to be as close as possible to them. When the image captured is on its perspective, it would look dramatic adding a story to the picture.

Three, the subject must be on the side leaving the center empty. If you are trying to take a picture as it looks perfect to your naked eye but it turns out boring on the camera, do some adjustments. Instead of putting your subject in the center, have it on the side instead. This way, the details are more enhanced.

Focus on its eyes. When you get close to one, try to catch its eyes and look to where its looking. When able to capture it looking at your camera, you surely will be very happy. The picture will look amazing as it captures the soul of the animal where its mood and emotion can be seen. Its as if, the image is real.

Set up your shutter speed to an accurate one. The key here is your shutter speed, the wrong speed not only will decrease the chance of capturing a good photo but surely all your catch are blurry. So, play with your camera first to find out which of the following speed is the right one.

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.

The thing is, you really could not take even just a decent one right away. Practice has to be done in order to achieve such. So, keep on practicing until you find it easy to take moving pictures. Practice it with your pets first while you are still at the comforts of your home.
