WILD LIFE PHOTOS :)

HI GUYS I WILL SHOW YOU MY SOME WILD LIFE PHOTOGRAPHS :) AND ALSO GIVE YOU SOME WILD LIFE PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS
1)IF YOU NEED TO HAVE THAT PUNCH AND WOW FACTOR IN YOUR IMAGE, AN IMPORTANT ASPECT TO HAVE IS THE EYE CONTACT WITH YOUR SUBJECT. A LOT OF TIMES WHEN THE TIGER WALKS HEAD ON, IT HARDLY LOOKS INTO THE CAMERA. WE END UP GETTING IMAGES LIKE THE TOP ONE.
BUT HAVE PATIENCE AND WAIT...IT WILL DEFINITELY LOOK UP...THAT'S YOUR SHOT. YOU CAN SEE THE IMPACT OF THE IMAGE COMPARED TO THE TOP AND THE BOTTOM. KEEP THIS IN MIND THE NEXT TIME YOU GET A HEAD ON SHOT....GET THAT EYE CONTACT WITH YOUR SUBJECT.

2)I KEEP SAYING, IF YOU DO NOT GET YOUR SETTINGS AND EVERYTHING RIGHT IN 0-3 SECONDS, YOU HAVE MISSED THE SHOT IN WILDLIFE...
IN THIS CASE I WAS USING THE CENTER FOCUSING POINT FOR COMPOSITION FOR ANOTHER SHOT AND THE NEXT MOMENT IT CHANGED IT'S POSITION AND STARTED AT ME. WE WERE ALMOST AT MINIMUM FOCUSING DISTANCE. I WAS SHOOTING AT F2.8 AND USING THE 400MM F2.8 L IS II LENS.
AT SUCH CLOSE DISTANCE, THE DEPTH OF FIELD IS EXTREMELY SHALLOW. I CLICKED WITH THE SAME SETTINGS WHEN IT TURNED TOWARDS ME AND LOST THE FOCUS ON THE FACE. I SHOULD HAVE MOVED MY FOCUSING POINT TO THE RIGHT. OF COURSE, I COULD HAVE KEPT THE CENTER FOCUSING POINT ON THE FACE AND CLICKED..BUT IT ALL HAPPENED AND IT WAS OVER BEFORE I COULD REACT....THAT'S HOW CHALLENGING WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHY IS.

3)HERE'S THE NEXT ONE...USING THE 55-250 LENS FOR WILDLIFE IS A BIT PUSHING IT...BUT THE BEST YOU CAN DO WITH THAT LENS FOR WILDLIFE IS TO GET GOOD IMAGES OF MAMMALS IN THE HABITAT. TRYING TO GET PORTRAITS OF ANIMALS WITH THAT LENS IS A BIT TOUGH...YOU NEED TO BE CREATIVE AND COMPOSE YOUR IMAGE FOR WILDLIFE WITH THIS LENS.

4)IT IS IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND AND STUDY ANIMAL BEHAVIOR IF YOU WANT TO MAKE THESE KIND OF IMAGES.

5)IF YOU ARE A BEGINNER AND WANT TO START LEARNING PHOTOGRAPHY, IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS NOT THE CAMERA OR LENS WHICH IS RESPONSIBLE FOR GOOD IMAGES.

I HOPE YOU ALL LIKE MY TIPS
