Wildlife Photography: Pointers for Beginners There is probably no more challenging subject for photographers than widife. Animals are usually unpredictable and can sometimes be dangerous. However, the chalenge of wildlfe photography is precisely what makesit so rewarding, [EMI[ D | But success requires planning, timing, ond technique. Here are a few tips for getting started. Bright sunight can be a problem when shooting wildlife. In the middie part of the day, the sun con create heavy shadows which rob an image of he essential colour and detail that gives the subject i: character. Worst of all, sunlight can create shadows on the face of the animal subject. As stated above, the critical part of any good wildlife photo is he eyes. B] Beginners should start out by need to know your subject inside-out. Fil may not be obvious, but unless you understand the onimal's behaviour and Ifestyle, you really don't have a hope of getting the perfect shot. When photographing most creatures, it is generally better to shoot at the eye level of the subject. [EBL G | But witiite portraits gain life by making a connection between the viewer and the animal, and as with humans, the window to that connection is the eye. Also, always ensure the eyes ‘are in focus. if the eyes aren't sharp in the primary subject of your photograph, most times, the photograph just won't work. It's a good idea when starting out to practice taking wildlife images ct places where animais are used to seeing humans. [EMH | This way, you con experiment with lighting Gnd composition without wasting time seeking out a subject. To produce winning wildlife ai ou photographing wildife in the moming and evening light.

A |Toincrease your chances of a great sho when your subject does come into sight, keen shooting and do not stop. Continuous shooting means you will burn through a lot of memory cards But it's tne only way to increase the odds of getting an effective image. Finally, bear in mind that although photography is nota hobby that'skind on the wallet, the exper? involved does tend to be justified in the long tem This is not fo say you have to splash out thousands of pounds on sophisticated equipment ané accessories. | This is especiaty tre it yor intention is to take photos beyond the quaity 1° memorable holiday snap.READING ‘A In fact, many may be fruitless. a F So, read widely about the animal and spend hours in the field, watching and Jeaming ) “B If they are lost in darkness, the personal connection with the subject is lost, e = = |G Many photographers make the mistake of € It does mean, however, that it's wise to standing above the animal (especially if overlook budget choices. ] small) and pointing the lens down.

The exhaustive information and clever design of this book explains why it has won two book awards.2/ It may be a bit on the pricey side, but the wealth of information within it more than justifies the price tag In this guide to Lebanon, Thomas Leeway writes with « passion and understanding about country he obviously knows well and loves. ‘The introduction contains an excellent overview of Lebanon's troubled history and current political status. There are concise descriptions of all Lebanon's major sights, and practical travel information most travellers will find ‘useful. There is, however, a definite struggle between styles.2 On the one hand, Leeway takes a light-hearted approach to the best Lebanon has to offer. On the other hand, he presents a heavy-handed and serious analysis of the country and its people. Thus, this guidebook is a good choice for anyone with a real interest in Lebanon, but hardly meant for the average tourist. 28 ——$—$<$<$$<—$<$Writing ms ‘You must answer this quostion.
