What problems should we pay attention to when shooting animals?

Animal photography for animals that move at night, there are methods of placing bait and shooting with automatic photography device. There are many kinds of automatic photographic devices, the most commonly used is photoelectric devices. The principle of this device is that as long as animals pass between the light-emitting tube and the light-receiving tube, the switch of the device will immediately start the shutter.

The simplest device is a device that ties a piece of meat with a thin thread. As soon as the animal finishes eating meat, the shutter will start immediately. This device is limited to shooting carnivores, and photovoltaic devices can also shoot herbivores. No matter what kind of automatic camera device, the camera, flash and automatic camera device are connected to the place where the animals appear, so that the animals can start the shutter themselves.

This method of taking pictures with automatic photography device can not only exert the power of unmanned photography, but also make animals automatically appear in the shooting location that the photographer thinks appropriate. The disadvantage of using automatic shooting equipment is that it is not known whether the subject is the subject before developing the film. Once you are familiar with all kinds of animals, you can judge the animals entering the field of photography by their footprints.

Because the automatic shooting device has the above shortcomings, the author wants to confirm the subject with his own eyes and shoot instantly, and almost no longer uses the automatic shooting device.

The greater the impact on photos, because it will lead to camera shake, resulting in unclear images. In addition, the movement speed of wild animals is quite fast and unpredictable, so the shutter speed of the camera is quite harsh, because only a fast shutter speed can capture the instantaneous movement. So the shutter speed greatly affects the clarity of the photo. If the lens of the camera is long enough and the shutter speed is fast enough, you can capture images while the lion is running.

As for shooting wild animals, my suggestion is simple. Always set the shutter speed to the fastest and get ready for shooting, because wild animals won't wait for you to shoot. Usually I will set the camera to aperture priority mode and adjust the aperture to the best setting, so that I can push the camera to use the fastest shutter speed.
