​Here are some easy tips to take great pictures of animals

With the right skills, canvas prints animal photography can be fun and fulfilling. Wildlife photography requires a photographer's ability to respond quickly, as well as some advanced photography skills that will give you a sense of what you're doing. Even photographing animals in captivity in safari parks tests our patience. But it's a great way to practice your photography skills, because at least they're there, and you don't have to wait and look for them.

Grasp the focus

Choosing the right focus mode and controlling the focus position are very important skills. So first, canvas prints online show you how to choose and change the focus. Your SONY camera has 15 automatic focus points that you can switch between. Lets you select single autofocus mode and select an autofocus on the left side of the field of view.

After some practice, taking pictures of quieter animals such as cap dolphins and meekest, and then challenging the more active penguins, canvas beach pictures you choose continuous servo autofocus mode (which corresponds to the air autofocus mode on Canon) and follow the penguins with the same technique.

Exposure control

As you admit, you rely too much on the camera's automatic mode and have trouble choosing the right aperture, shutter speed, and ISO, so you rely on the camera's automatic Settings. Although it can also take good photos, it is not foolproof. After all, the camera is just a machine, which does not have the flexibility of human brain, and the judgment is always wrong. Therefore, in order to take better pictures, we must hold the control of the camera in our own hands.

Now it's time for you to practice how to control exposure. Set the camera's sensitivity to ISO400, aperture priority mode, so we can better control the depth of field. Then we went back to the meerkat house. This time, I ask you to leave your 75-300mm lens at full aperture and keep the focus on the animal's eyes at all times. Shooting with a wide aperture highlights the subject and avoids the clutter of the museum.

Pay attention to the background

Once you've mastered the key camera Settings, you now need to pay more attention to the background selection, which is a holistic approach. The animals' surroundings in the zoo are also natural and beautiful, providing plenty of background material, but unlike human models, they don't always take the initiative to be in the best shooting position, you need to observe them all the time.

In the wildlife park, if you do not pay attention to choose the appropriate location and Angle when shooting, the background is easy to interfere.

Shift the shot to a cleaner background, and use a telephoto lens for better results. So when you shoot, I ask you to look at the subject as well as the background. Therefore, you need to spend more time adjusting the location of your shot to avoid obvious distractions in the background, such as railings, post boxes and your artificial objects. We chose an open area as the starting point, with zebras and antelope, where you can have plenty of space to choose the right background and shooting Angle.

The focal point exactly coincides with the animal's eyes, photographs printed on aluminum and the large aperture blurs the background. You have taken a wonderful portrait of the meerkat.
