@PhotographersCorner presents our 5th @PhotographyContest of the Year!
The theme will beโฆ
#wildlifephotography
We have two goals with this contest:
1.) We want to raise funds for @SavingTheSurvivors
Who are they? There bio says it all:
โWildlife Vets providing medical treatment to Wildlife across Africa who have fallen victim to poachers and helping humans and animals coexist on Earth. โ
savingthesurvivors.org ๐
Every diamond ๐ given to this post will be sent to them.
2.) We want to see your best #wildlifephotography photo on DeSo!
How can we take a photograph of a wild animal, insect, sea creature, etc?
To help us I got a hold of a real life #wildlife photographer named Tristan Adler.

Make sure to give him a follow and encourage him to join us on DeSo. ๐
These are his tips:
โ1. Use a telephoto lens. This keeps you away from the animal, which is safer and also helps the animal act naturally.
If you only have a phone there are still ways to get beautiful wildlife photos, but you have to be realistic about what you can and canโt do. You canโt get closeup photos with a phone. But you can take โenvironmental portraitsโ which is essentially like taking a landscape photo that has the animal in its natural environment. The techniques to do this are similar to normal landscape photography.
2. Know your subject. Know their habitat and their behaviors, and you can begin to predict what they will do.
3. Get low. Shooting from below the animalโs eye level creates intimacy between the viewer and the subject.
If you do those three things, youโll be off to a great start!โ
