How to shoot wild animals in a civilized way?

In recent years, with the development of social economy, the continuous progress of photography technology, the improvement of ecological environment and the convenience of traffic conditions, more and more people are keen to set up cameras in their spare time and shoot wild animals in the wild. After the shooting, everyone shared the photographic works through the Internet and other means of communication, which played a good role in protecting wild animals to a certain extent, improved people's enthusiasm for loving and protecting wild animals, and played a positive role in promoting wildlife protection and promoting wildlife culture.

First, the benefits of wildlife photography:

1, which helps to raise public awareness of wildlife. With more and more excellent wildlife photos presented to the public, the public can not only appreciate the photos, but also increase their understanding of wildlife and raise their awareness of wildlife protection.

2, help to promote wildlife protection. With more and more people taking part in wildlife photography, these photographers will pay more attention to wildlife protection in order to take more photos of wildlife. At the same time, these photographers are well-equipped, and they need to do a good job of concealment when shooting wild animals, so as to ensure that they can shoot targets from a long distance, and sometimes they can shoot hunters. In addition, these personnel can also dismantle the wildlife hunting facilities found in the shooting in time, which is conducive to wildlife protection.

3. It is helpful to popularize the knowledge of wildlife protection. Being able to shoot good wildlife photography works requires not only a photographer to have a good photography level, but also a sufficient understanding of the wildlife photographed. First, choose the right time: the choice of time has two meanings: First, the habits of wild animals must be fully considered when shooting wild animals, when to move, when to eat, and when to rest; Second, the influence of light factors must be taken into account. Sufficient and infectious light is an important factor in taking good photos. Considering these two factors comprehensively, we can capture interesting works. Second, choose different angles: although it is difficult to have many angles for you to choose from when shooting wild animals, sometimes you can find many interesting angles. If possible, you can use the lens to be flat with the horizon, flat with the animal's eyes, and look down from a height. Observing the photos taken by animals from the height of human eyes may seem rigid. Sometimes, photographing the back of animals can also produce strange and interesting effects.

4, help to enrich the amateur life of the masses. In today's increasingly tense pace of life, more and more people have little time to go out for activities, but people who like wildlife photography still go out to shoot tirelessly. During the filming process, these people also gradually established a communication platform, which not only increased their spare time, but also provided them with a broader communication space.

Second, although wildlife photography has many advantages, some photographers do whatever it takes to pursue the effect of photography, but there are also a series of problems:

1, taken during the breeding period, resulting in the death of larvae. Some people took pictures of birds carrying food. In the season when kingfishers brood, when adults go out to hunt, their holes are sealed, so they can't feed in their nests smoothly when they return. Therefore, there are more opportunities to photograph kingfishers carrying food, which is very likely to cause adult birds to abandon their nests and lead to starvation of young birds. Even if adults don't abandon their nests, young birds may starve to death because of delayed feeding.

2. Disturb wild animals at the shooting scene. Someone filmed the spectacular scene of a large flock of birds taking off. After the photographer arranges the camera, others take certain measures to disturb the birds according to the required angle and distance. Large groups take off and photographers take pictures as required, which has a great impact on the life of wild animals.

3. Clean the bunker to meet the shooting needs. Some people set up cameras in better shooting positions, took some pictures of birds hatching, and then cleared the obstacles blocking the bird's nest. Some people even cut down the whole tree. People with common sense know that birds usually choose hidden places when building their nests, and after removing obstacles, their nests are directly exposed, which is easy to be attacked by predators and is likely to bring them fatal disasters.

Three. Matters needing attention in wildlife photography:

1. Learn and understand the knowledge of wild animals, fully understand the living habits of the subjects, choose suitable places according to their activities, and do a good job of concealment to avoid affecting the lives of wild animals;

2. Learn related photography techniques, improve the level of wildlife photography from photography techniques and equipment, master the performance of photography equipment, set relevant technical parameters before shooting, and maybe buy cameras and lenses according to your own affordability.

3. Keep a sufficient distance from the subject, learn to build a shelter, and build a shelter in an appropriate position according to the wind direction, location and distance without affecting wildlife activities, and do your own concealment work.

4. Maintain an appropriate number of people. It is well known that all wild animals are easily frightened. Photographers should not have too many people when they are engaged in shooting activities under the condition of ensuring their own safety, and keep quiet so as not to affect the life of wild animals.

Here, I call on the vast number of wildlife photographers to take action, start from me, and don't neglect wildlife protection while engaging in wildlife photography, so as to shoot better wildlife photography works in the future.
