Bits and Pieces

During weekends when I have a lot of free time. I love visiting flower gardens, botanical gardens, butterfly gardens and the zoo. I can see here a lot of photo perspective and I enjoyed every minute during this visits. Here’s a photo tip I got and I hope it can help us the next time we visit the gardens and zoos.

Taking Photos At National Parks
by David Peterson

Natural wonders abound in National Parks. There’s so much to photograph: The Animals, Scenery, Your Family!

* When photographing wondrous scenery like waterfalls, focus on that subject but don’t make it the only thing in your photograph. Include some sky, or a person for scale.
* Again, keep the flash on to help with shadows on your subject’s faces.
* Take advantage of the scenery. When photographing your family and friends, include something of the surrounding area in the photograph as well.
* Try different angles to see if you can make the shot more interesting. Eg shooting upwards from ground level.
* Taking more than one battery will help because you’ll have loads of good photo ops you won’t want to waste any!
* Look for detail. The sheer cliff face might be breathtaking, but the climber scaling the cliff would be just as exciting to capture in your photos.
