A #thread on #wildlifephotography for beginners was pending for long. So finally I penned it down.

I hope this helps someone pursue one of the most enjoyable, thrilling and by far the most difficult forms of photography.

Do share & please please do read. 😀🙏

Equipment- Now before I start on this, ‘I would like to tell you that please don’t go over board on spending lakhs of hard earned rupees before you have understood the basics of using a DSLR.’
Picking the right camera in your budget is much harder than it might appear.

Fast auto-focus, sturdy, and a fast burst are something you need to check in the body. ISO capability is also key as wildlife has only one source of light-The Sun.

More amount of money you spend, more the capabilities of the camera will be. But don’t go over board.

A lot of people had requested me to do a thread on Bird Photography. So finally, I got the time today. Hope this helps you. Also, please do share and help others 🙏

Here you go-

Getting close enough to photograph birds, without disturbing them or causing them to flee, is probably the most challenging part of bird photography. So before understanding photography techniques, lets understand how to behave.

Without a lot of patience,you will never get bird photos. Letting the bird accept you in their personal territory is by far the most important aspect of birding. Once they accept you, you have won them!But never take them for granted. 1 wrong move and you have lost them for ever.

Sharing a story which will be etched in my memory forever. A true natural history moment.

In the photos are Choti Tara & her two cubs who took away a camera which had accidentally slipped out off the jeep from a photographer.

Do read how it transpired-
1/10

I was the first to enter the jungle and my driver had the intel of the location of a Tigress and cubs. He told me that photos wont be great as she has a collar, but he said cubs are amazing and very active.

I was a but disappointed as cubs very rarely come out in the open.
2/10

Just the thought of a possible sighting gives me goosebumps so all exited we reached the spot.There were no warning calls, but no herbivores in the area either. We waited,waited & waited.
90% of the time, I trust the drivers as over years we have gained each other’s trust.

Basics of Mobile Photography.

If you like to click pictures of your loved ones, nature or anything under the sun and all you have is a mobile phone, dont worry. You can still take some magnificent photos.

Below is a real life example of me doing mobile photography.

Even though I am wildlife photographer, I find that I use my phone more often than not to capture precious everyday moments. After all, they say that the best camera is the one which is available when at the moment of truth.

So lets start- Clean your lens!

Most of the people I know never clean the lens of their camera before taking a photo. Its a sin!There are lots of smudges, dust and dirt on your lens as the device is so extensively used. It does make a world of deference to the picture quality.

These photography tips are for absolutely everyone. It doesn’t matter if you shoot from DSLRs or mobiles or any other type of camera.

Lets talk about the most important aspect of photography- Composition.

👇

The composition of your photograph impacts the way it’s perceived by others. Composition is nothing but what you choose to fit inside the frame and what you leave out, where to position each element and so on, you’re capturing a scene with your unique vision.

We are instinctively attracted to images with a good composition.
Why?
Because we find them harmonious or interesting!

Over the past few decades the photographers have created some basic guidelines for composition.

Below are some of them..

Remember- Your first 10000 photos are your worst.

Now lets understand the
Exposure Triangle.

Aperture, shutter speed, and ISO make up the three sides of the exposure triangle. They work together to produce a photo that is properly exposed.

If one variable changes, at least one of the others must also change to maintain the correct exposure. Now, understanding what a stop is, is key to understanding the exposure triangle. A stop refers to the doubling or halving of the amount of light that makes up an exposure.

Each photo that we take requires a certain quantity of light to expose it correctly..Adding a stop of light by doubling the exposure will brighten an underexposed image. Conversely, decreasing an exposure by one stop (halving the amount of light) will darken an overexposed image.
