Having FUN With Camping Trip Photos

The following tips may help you take great photos of wildlife:

• Taking shots of animals can be difficult with a digital camera, but it can be achieved with great success if you are patient and take many pictures.

• Try using a zoom lens if a timid animal comes into view. Approaching the animal can scare it away.

• Capturing multiple shots of animals when they’re running past the camera by increasing your shutter speed can result in a spectacular photo.

• If you’re taking shots of animals, never use the flash as it will startle the animal and it will run away.

• Whatever you do, don’t try to leave food out for animals as they may attack you while you’re setting up.
