Beginner’s Wildlife Photography 2007-05-20 09:22:03 I was recently asked what was needed to get into wildlife photography. Well, first….luck! LOL! Luck in sneaking up on various animals and getting that candid shot. Some wildlife are very sneaky!
In all seriousness though, the first thing to look into is your camera — are you going film or digital? Try to get a good SLR with a tripod. Then you need a nice fast lense.
Apart from your photography equipment, you need to think about what you want to learn. If you go with film you will learn things like shutter speed, field depth, cropping, composing, filters, etc. Read more:Beginner

There is portrait, landscape, wedding, and wildlife photography just to name a few. One of the most rewarding styles of photography centers on wildlife.

Wildlife photography is perhaps the most difficult in the profession. You have to have the time, inclination, and of course the camera.

Wildlife photography doesn’t wait for you to happen a long and snap a photo. You need to immerse yourself in the site you choose your camera at the ready, and set for the light of the day. Most a Read more:Animals

The World Of Underwater Photography 2007-05-19 08:19:04 Underwater photography can be very fun and interesting.

The Use Of Lenses In Photography 2007-05-19 08:18:45 Just having a camera is not going to get you the best pictures. Most of us who take photos are amateurs in the art world, but with the right equipment our photography can be elevated to a new height. Lenses are important especially when you settle on a medium you will train in. Most photographers choose one area of photography to specialize in. There are many types of lenses, the standard 35- 80mm, telephoto, and panoramic lenses.
Most cameras have a 35- 80 mm lens, even the point and shoot type. Often when you purchase a camera casing they will sell you the standard lens with it. All lenses are interchangeable. You do have to stick with the same brand of lenses as your camera and make sure the diameter is the same. The diameter of most lenses is the same as long as you keep to the same brand. The 35- 80 mm lens tells you the extent of reach. While you can take photographs several miles away with a standard lens you will not have the distinction of features in the p
The Use Of Filters In Photography 2007-05-19 08:18:22 Filters have two different meanings depending on how long you have had photography as a hobby. Most of us today think as filters as an option with Photoshop. This is not the case. Before the invention of computers and things like Photoshop we had small glass discs to create the filtered affect. There are many options with filters you can blur a picture, sharpen the picture, and even block out the UV rays. Filters are often used to correct a problem or make a picture look a little different.
Lets talk about filters that blur a photograph. When you are taking a picture of a waterfall at the bottom where the water rises in a cloud you can add a filter to create the cloud in the picture. Cameras don’t always see what the eye sees. In some cases it can have a high resolution to depict the actual water drops rather than the cloud, so adding a filter to your lens can help create the effect your eye sees.
Other filters such as the UV protector guard against the harsh rays. Read more:Filters
