Canadian Wildlife Photography Tours: Think Outside the Box
The most captivating imagery inspires us because of the creative ways in which the photographer captures them. There are several unwritten guidelines in wildlife photography, but one key to becoming an excellent photographer is knowing how to bend the rules. Think outside the box, and don’t be afraid to try something new, and you’ll find a clear difference between ordinary photos and thought-provoking images. Lake Athapapuskow readily lends itself to uncovering your ingenuity.
Always Check Your Pictures
Being efficient is critical in wildlife photography because you can never tell when the ideal moment will strike. Pros recommend having an inventory of your current shots to review at the beginning or end of each outing to streamline your efforts. Not only will you be able to prioritize your goals, but you’ll also have a chance to clear out your memory card to make space for more pictures. There is a good chance you’ll be taking hundreds of photos each day, so make sure you don’t run out of file storage!
Gearing Up
The most awe-inspiring moments can disintegrate in a matter of seconds, so being prepared is paramount to your success. Here are a few tips for maximizing your ability to be in the right place at the right time.
- Ensure you have plenty of memory cards and power for your camera.
- Test your ISO setting to learn how high or low you can adjust it for optimal lighting without compromising detail.
- Limit yourself to one or two lenses to reduce your load and simplify things.
- Practice configuring your camera with a blindfold on so that you can do so without looking.
- Understand how shutter speed, aperture, and focus can affect your pictures.
