10. You can capture a dog’s attention by getting some game calls or sounding like some
animal (other than human). A dog whistle might work too. Dog treats can work also.
11. Night shooting requires a steady camera using a tripod, monopod or sandbag and a
remote shutter release (cable on film cameras). Turn off the anti-shake feature. With the
lens at the largest opening (low f-stop) try pictures from several seconds to minutes.
Shoot in manual using an Exposure Value (EV) table go to
www.fredparker.com/ultexp1.htm. Set white balance by using a piece of white paper,
and use the lowest ISO possible and meter the darker areas. Bracket exposures. Cloud
cover increases the time dramatically and a full moon will shorten it. The longer time
might give you a blue sky and appear like daytime. You will have to experiment for car
head and taillights.
12. Movement in a photo can be captured in various ways:
• move the camera or object to create a blurring effect.
• Pan with a moving object
• Pan with the camera and use a flash balance to the light of the background to
make the object sharp.
13. Panorama. Using a tripod, overlap photos by 1/3 and shoot on manual. Use a
preset white balance and turn off autofocus. Do not change the focal length or flash.
Panoramas can be done vertically too. You can stitch these photos together and I save
them with layers so various adjustments can be done later to just part of the panorama.
14. Zoo shots. Go early during school hours in early Fall or Late Spring when there is
less chance of field trips. Check on feeding times at the zoo website. Try to use natural
light and avoid bars and glass. If there is glass use a polarizing filter or put the camera
lens right on the glass after cleaning with lens wipes. Lip balm will hide scratches.
Shoot at high speed to blur the background and in continuous firing mode to capture
facial expressions. Spend a lot of time at one exhibit and keep focus on the animal.
15. Silhouettes. Meter off the sky and block the sun, just before sunset or ½ hour before
sunrise. Use a high f-stop to increase the depth of field and bracket by one stop. Clouds
will add interest.
16. Fireworks. Pick a location upwind of the display so smoke will not interfere. Use
the bulb setting and set the manual focus to infinity. I cover the lens between shots with
my hat to prevent stray light (like flashlights) from hitting the lens. Normally two or
three bursts on one photo shooting for a few seconds after the burst first appears. If there
is water or buildings present use them to increase interest in the photograph. 1 to 4
seconds/burst at ISO 100 and f stop of 5.6 to 11.
