With a digital camera nature photography has never been so easy. Learn the basics by reading the steps below.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • Digital photography.

Step1
First rule is to always be safe. If taking a picture of wildlife, it is best to stand down wind. This will help prevent the animal picking up your scent.
Step2
Using features such as zoom and taking picture from higher ground will help keep you safe when taking wildlife pictures.
Step3
When photographing moving subjects use the shutter priority pose and the fasted shutter speed that you have.
Step4
To create a blurry background and still keep your subject clear, switch your mode to aperture priority and choose a gage aperture . If you are using a point and shoot digital camera your best option would be to set your settings to portrait.
Step5
Zoom in on the animal to create your desired photograph and shoot the picture. Beware of your surroundings.

Tips & Warnings

  • Make sure to keep your eyes and ears open for other animails around you.
  • safety must come first.
