You can't go far wrong if you consider an animal or bird's character in the same way you do when photographing people. Add your knowledge of composition and exposure and you'll soon be creating the pictures you want.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/connected/main.jhtml?xml=/connected/2007/02/10/nosplit/dlphot10.xml"><P class="story2">Most wildlife photography requires the longest, fastest lens you can afford. Compact cameras with built in zooms of 400mm effective focal length are available, or you can extend their range with screw-on converters.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/connected/main.jhtml?xml=/connected/2007/02/10/nosplit/dlphot10.xml">A fast shutter speed will enable you to freeze motion.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/connected/main.jhtml?xml=/connected/2007/02/10/nosplit/dlphot10.xml">The key is to keep the bird or animal as your centre of interest, rather than just a part of the scene. Although a close-up, full-frame image of the creature will often be a fine shot, including the surroundings will provide interest and context. </blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/329C13B2-9C87-4DE2-86F6-E70BE203688D/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
