If you own a point-and-shoot digital camera, switch to portrait
mode. Either method will create a blurry foreground and background, with the animal
you are photographing in sharp focus, as shown. Alternatively, if you??™re photographing
rapidly moving animals, switch to shutter priority mode and choose a shutter speed
fast enough (1/500 of a second or faster) to freeze the animal in motion.
4. Zoom in on the animal and compose the scene.
5. Shoot the picture.
Capture Images
in a Zoo
With a bit of planning and persistence, you
can take pictures of animals at a zoo that
look like they were taken in the wild. You
do face obstacles when you photograph at
a zoo, however. For one, there is the fencing
that keeps the wildlife within the zoo. You
also have other spectators viewing the
animals. To capture realistic wildlife images
from a zoo, you??™ll have to minimize both
obstacles.

CAPTURING IMAGES OF THE
FAMILY??™S BEST FRIEND
Dogs and cats are treasured family members and can
be wonderful subjects for your digital photographs. Dogs
and cats have totally different personalities. Dogs are
content to follow their masters everywhere, whereas cats
can be somewhat aloof. Big dogs can be the subjects
of wonderful action shots as they jump high to catch a
Frisbee.
