Capturing Speed in Wildlife Photography

Andy Long writes, "As a leader of tours and workshops, one of the biggest problems I have encountered with participants is their taking too much time getting everything ready and missing THE shot. This is fine when doing a scenic and the subject is going nowhere, but when you're getting ready to photograph a pair of bighorn sheep about to butt heads or an elk thrashing its antlers on a tree or shrub, you need to be ready to push the button at the opportune time."         Full Article

Image Size Setting on Digital Cameras

Colin Aiken writes, "Setting the size of an image is something specific to digital cameras, it just didn't exist on film cameras. One effect of changing the size of image your camera captures is that it also affects the size of the digital image file your camera stores on its memory card and therefore the number of pictures you can store on any given size of card. This is size in terms of computer memory or storage and is expressed in kilobytes, megabytes and gigabytes. Digital cameras produce digital files that need a certain amount of space to store them."          Full Article

Digital Camera Accessories Guide

Suzanne VanDeGrift writes, "One must have accessory for the digital camera is the memory card. This is a solid-state electronic flash memory data storage device that offers high re-recordability and power-free storage. The memory card is a critical accessory in order to be able to store pictures in volume. A high speed, high capacity card is needed to accommodate the higher megapixel cameras. Without the benefit of the high speed memory card, you will quickly run out of photo storage space and have to wait a long time between each picture you take."          Full Article

Creating Mood with Different Colors

Domen Lombergar writes, "Just as music builds mood, colors can also help create mood. A lot has been written on what each color denotes, what emotions it evokes. Colors also have an impact on one's health. Did you ever think that the colors in a photograph can actually make someone look at it over and over again or probably turn-off the viewer. In fact the colors in photographs can set the pace and mood of your surroundings and impact you deeply."          Full Article
