Explore the wildlife on safari and see wildlife in their natural habitat is an awesome experience and the catch of the photographic experience is particularly rewarding. When you're on an African safari, we can expect to take most of your pictures on a Land Rover car or boat, as the vehicle, allowing a safe approach close to wild animals.
Some areas offer walking safaris with a guide, but photographing wild animals on foot is dangerous and does not let the proximity of a vehicle or boat. I remember that stalking and approach of potentially dangerous wild animals. Although most animals do not see a vehicle as a threat, almost all men fleeing on foot. As a result, photographing wild animals on foot is much more difficult - in addition, you have to carry all equipment.
For walking safaris, I recommend you bring only your best zoom, offering more versatility. When shooting from a vehicle, you must turn off the engine before fumbling to take pictures. Although the vibration of the vehicle engine may seem insignificant, but the end will be visible in the picture, especially when using a telephoto lens. Using a tripod for an air vehicle or boat is entirely possible, if you have your own car or only one or two passengers per seat row. If you do not have a tripod, be sure to use any means available (bean bag, monopod, Roof-Top) to avoid camera shake.
Getting Started Tips Here are some tips to start your safari photography adventure: If you'll be on safari for several days, be sure to get enough digital storage. You do not want to be facing a rare opportunity to go to the pictures or images have to delete it. Know your camera - do not want to miss a shot! Because many scenes, especially those with a high degree of contrast, you can fool the automatic measurement of the camera, the practice of using the exposure compensation on the camera and also the different measurement options (one-off, center-weighted and evaluation).
Experiment with shooting moving targets and forecasting 's action. Some of the best images are the interactions of animals and animals in motion (flying birds, zebras running, hunting lions). Be patient and wait for things to happen - you will be rewarded with the possibility of spectacular. Also, when you get to a position, in fact, the time to listen and observe, most of my best sightings occurred when the vehicle is off and listen to tracks. Whenever they move, will not produce good results. Try to understand something in the foreground to enhance the feeling of depth when shooting landscapes. Something as simple as a rock, a termite mound or a person who contributes to increasing the scale and interest to the composition.
Always be sure to focus on the eyes of an animal when possible. Keep your eyes on the approach will make the difference between an image that works and that is a throwaway. The animals do not stay in one place for long, so get ready. Always move cautiously, slowly and carefully and remain the maximum distance when photographing or observing wildlife.
Always be respectful of wildlife and no stress or pressure them. Do not hesitate to get in "bad" days time - some of the most striking images are captured during inclement weather. In short, for many people photography is one of the most essential part of an African safari. The photographs are much more than a record of where he was and what you saw are something to look back in the year after, or a way to share your experiences with friends and family back home.
Furthermore, many people so much fun taking the photos themselves, how they see the animals and sights and there is great satisfaction in your photos for the next few years.
