For a photographer, it would be a joy to be able to capture at least one photo of an animal from the great African region. They know that getting one is difficult and only pros have the greater chance of having one. To start your very own African wildlife photo gallery, here are some tips that you might wanna know.

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.

Be always prepared. During the perfect moment, you must already be ready at that time. Your patience is tested here as you must wait for the perfect moment to arrive. All photographers that goes here experienced the same thing. Just be patience and eventually it will turn out great in the end.

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.
