Behind The Lens

Location

Ranthambore National Park,India

Time

Afternoon post 12 Noon

Lighting

Early morning (sunrise) or late afternoon (sunset) light creates the most pleasing effect that will really emphasise your subject. By shooting birds and other wildlife with the sun in front of you or slightly to the side, rather than behind you, you can create lovely rim lighting around your subject.

Equipment

Nikon D7200 and Nikon 600mm f4

Inspiration

Stunning nature picture ideas require a well-thought-out plan. This is especially true when you’re shooting wildlife. Wild animals are unpredictable

Editing

Just basic Brightness and shadows adjustments

In my camera bag

2 DSLR Nikon D7200,D500 ,Nikkor lenses ( 50mm,85mm,600mm,70-200mm)

Feedback

Wildlife portraits can be done one of two ways: with or without a background. With a background means including the animal and its surrounding environment. It gives a sense of scale, while also emphasizing how that animal interacts with its environment. For this option, select a mid-range aperture to increase the depth of field.Golden hour photography is your best bet. The golden hour is 10 to 20 minutes after sunset. That soft reddish sky provides the perfect low lighting. Position your camera so the subject is between your lens and the sun. Set your exposure based on the brightest part of the photo (most likely the sun). Your subject becomes under-exposed, resulting in a sleek black silhouette.Use a fast shutter speed or activate burst mode to keep your camera moving quickly. You don’t want to miss any shots. Play around with lenses, as well. A long lens can help you watch and capture all at once. That said, the most important factor with this one is time. The more time you can spend in their habitat, the more you’ll be familiar with how to take the best wildlife photos. Spend whatever time you can and pack a lot of patience.
