Wildlife Photography How To

Photographing wildlife is more art than science but there are a few things you should know if you're planning to capture critters in their natural habitats.

All photographers strive for maximum photo quality, no matter what type of images they shoot. One way to achieve optimum results is to use the lowest ISO setting that conditions permit.

One of the most common questions inexperienced photographers ask themselves is, “why aren’t my images sharp?” When this frustrating dilemma occurs often it may actually discourage shooters from pursuing their hobby.

The craft of photography is full of long-held concepts and conventional wisdom that have proven helpful for years. But as technology, techniques, and editing software have evolved, some of these so-called "rules" deserve to be pushed to the wayside.

You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take. Your camera, your lenses, your drone—if they’re not by your side and at-the-ready, they’re multi-thousand-dollar paper weights.

This two-minute post-processing tutorial from instructor Mike Wardynski demonstrates a simple technique for creating various edits of a single photo and accelerating the workflow without taking up extra space on your hard drive. The process involves the use of what are known as "virtual copies," and it's easy to understand how they work.

Dynamic range is one aspect of nature and wildlife photography that many photographers fail to grasp, and it has a big impact on just about every image you shoot. Today's tutorial from the Birdman Photography YouTube channel demystifies the concept and explains why "you don't need a Master's degree in the subject to understand it."
