Too many wildlife photographers get fixated about what I call that the "focal length debacle", at which it turns into an
obsession to possess the longest/biggest lens possible. i do know that this really are often location-dependent while you'll desire
significantly greater than 600mm just to seek out any shot whatsoever in some wide open spaces, however, the problem that i would like to
tackle is significantly associated with our obsession to urge as long as you'll to the creatures and isolate them entirely out of their
own environment. the result is usually a picture that resembles it'd possibly be shot having no thought of how the
surroundings during which it finds it self and a eloquent background,
of a captive subject at an area . Challenge yourself to require to
give the audience a way better idea of where the image was taken by you and wherever your theme has got to split a living within the
uncontrolled. it's applicable to any species you picture -- to the present elephant by your shrub into the bull. The elephant under was
photographed with a fisheye lens and also a filter to require advantage of skies and therefore the clouds and to supply you a way of the
surroundings. the opposite hand to capturing wider is --
you guessed it -- shooting nearer...and I mean genuinely CLOSER. Get
in-your-face close (by going your posture by shifting successful focus by employing a lengthier lens with optional tele-converter)
to produce distinct and interesting studies of this animals/birds you picture. this may even enable you to think about in terms of
abstract compositional arrangements
