Zooming

Article Abstract:

Several techniques can be used to photograph zoo animals successfully and compellingly. These include capturing direct eye contact with the subject, positioning the camera at the same level as the animal, using a close-up range, depicting two separate items or areas within a single frame and playing up unusual coloring or patterns. Patience and the proper equipment are also helpful, along with learning the subjects' habits.

Moving stills: the visual effect of movement is available to the eye only through photography

Article Abstract:

Photographic techniques used to capture images of movement are described. For example, a moving hippopotamus was photographed using methods such as panning, increasing shutter speed and timing exposure. A photographer could also choose to accentuate blurring to produce images with a powerful impact. Other techniques that can be used are described.
