Animal photography skills of animal photography

When shooting animals that are agile and not controlled by the photographer's will, the photographer is required to react as quickly as shooting sports. Also, the closer animals are to the wild, the more instinctively they keep a certain distance from humans. It is difficult to get close to them, so telephoto lenses are needed in many occasions. Secondly, photographers often move with animals, so the photographic equipment they carry must be as light as possible. In this kind of shooting, it is often easier to take good photos by choosing a lens with a dark aperture but easy to carry than by choosing a bright lens with a large aperture. The direction of light is also important to show the charm of animals. Especially when shooting fluffy animals, the secret of showing their charm is to shoot the texture of hair. At this time, it is very effective to use the backlight or semi-backlight of the sun. Photographers should observe the surrounding situation and quickly decide the shooting position to start shooting. Generally speaking, it is no problem to determine exposure parameters by evaluation photometry. However, in the case of strong backlight, partial metering or spot metering with small metering range can be used for metering. In shooting mode, you can choose program automatic exposure, taking shooting timing as priority. If the ISO sensitivity is set to automatic, you can cope with the sharp change of light freely. When shooting outdoors during the day, even when shooting with high ISO sensitivity, the noise will not be as obvious as when shooting at night. Therefore, we should always pay attention to the change of shutter speed when shooting to prevent possible hand jitter or subject jitter.
