How to shoot the animal world

Animal World and some documentaries about animals have the following shooting methods:

1. Squat. Set up a camouflage shed in advance near the cave where animals are to be photographed or in places frequented. The photographer waited for the appearance of animals in the camouflage shed to capture pictures. It usually takes several days, sometimes longer. (This method is generally used in China)

2. Camouflage the camera. Putting the camera on the remote control car is very similar to the current wireless remote control toy, but it is certainly much more accurate than the remote control toy. The remote control distance is longer, the action is more convenient, and the lens can be rotated up and down to adjust the angle. Then use the shape and color of stumps or stones as camouflage outside. It looks like a stump or a stone, and animals can't find it at all. Then put the camouflage camera on the edge of the animal's cave or the place where it often moves, and shoot it from a distance. You can also control the camouflage camera to walk. It's very convenient to track animals, and you can photograph them at close range. (commonly used abroad)

3. shoot with animals. Install cameras on captured wild animals or raised animals. Then put it back, and you can shoot it with animals.

4. Shoot in the cave. When filming the caves where animals live, when animals go out for food. Install a miniature camera on the cave wall to shoot in disguise. Shooting in a cave requires a higher camera. Generally, infrared cameras are used, and in some cases, miniature camera similar to an endoscope is used, mainly according to animals.

5. A shot that explains while grasping. It's an image record of a zoologist at work, all taken on the spot, without a synthetic lens. Generally, photographers and photographers have to go out for days or months. After you come back, organize the video materials and make a program or documentary.
