Wildlife Photography Tips
Wildlife photography is very exciting, but it requires a lot of patience and dedication. While you may get frustrated when first starting out, don’t give up because your efforts will be rewarded. Many photographers will spend a whole day trying to get a specific shot! Below are tips that will either help you get started as a wildlife photographer, or will motivate you to continue as a wildlife photographer. It is wonderful to capture the beauty around you, and animals are particularly fun to photograph.
1. This tip cannot be stressed enough- be patient. Many people will get frustrated, but by being patient, unexpected things will happen.
2. Don’t get too close. It is likely that if you get too close to animals, they will run away. No matter if you are photographing in national parks, jungles, the wilderness, etc., it is of upmost importance to give animals space, and wait for them to come to you if they so choose (animal are very curious).
3. Photograph wildlife in their environment. While it is fun to photograph exotic animals at the zoo, it is more authentic to incorporate where they actually live into the background.
4. Play with using different shutter speeds. On one hand, if you photograph a bird flying with a fast shutter speed, you will “freeze” it in the action of flying. But with a slow shutter speed, you create a blurred effect.
5. If you are patient (this is where tip #1 comes into play), the wildlife may even compose a brilliant photo. Many times animals will create unique photo opportunities if you just observe them through the lens.
6. Invest in a good quality zoom lens. In most situations it is challenging to get close to wildlife, and a zoom lens allows you to get close shots without actually disturbing the animal or putting yourself in danger.
Remember to stay inspired by viewing the work of other wildlife photographers. You can search for wildlife photographers online or in photography magazines.

Photograph Composing
Composition is what makes a photograph interesting, and it also keeps your viewer engaged. In order to improve your composition, just follow these tips. If you are just starting out with photography, it may take you a while to develop an “eye” for composition, but don’t worry because you will improve.
1. When you are photographing your subject, always keep composition in mind. Do not rely on cropping them afterward. While it is okay to crop your photos, you do not want to be spending time cropping every single one in order to get an interesting photograph.
2. You will want to first consider the placement of your subject. You generally want to avoid putting your subject in the middle. Place your subject in a “sweet spot.”
To visualize these sweet spots, first think about a blank, rectangular photo. Next, draw 2 vertical lines that break the frame into 3 equal sections. Draw 2 horizontal lines that break the frame into 3 equal sections. There are 4 spots where these lines intersect, and these are called sweet spots. Experiment placing your subject in one of these imaginary sweet spots for a great photo.
3. If you use lines and texture creatively, your viewer will be drawn in. They will also be guided around the photos with these lines.
For example, if your subject is a spiral staircase, the lines will draw the viewer around the entire photo. A cycle can be made if you have grass that draws the viewer from the bottom of the photo to the top, and rays of sun that draw the viewer from the top of the photo to the bottom.
When you have a horizon, try to place it above or below the middle. For a strong composition, try using lines from subjects such as railroad tracks, buildings, trees, or ladders.
