			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>By: <b>Aston Park</b></em>
<div style="float:left;padding: 12px"><a href="//home/content/39/4922939/html/wp/parropia.com/wp-content/uploads/cc/Art_Photography35.jpg"><img src="//home/content/39/4922939/html/wp/parropia.com/wp-content/uploads/cc/Art_Photography35.jpg" alt='Art Photography' /></a></div>
<p>Fashion; the realm of beauty and glamour. The word evokes images of resplendence and exquisiteness. Presentation is one of the most important (some would argue, probably the most important) part of fashion. The allure of fashion depends on the visual image created by the clothes and accessories. The designer and the models do their utmost to present and enhance the attractiveness of the creations; the former by their designs and the latter by their poses, but it is the photographer with his or her camera and lenses who captures the real beauty of the creation.</p>
<p>Fashion photography is one of the most popular forms of photography. Whether capturing the essence of a unique design or the beauty of a traditional dress, the fashion photographer has to do both and this makes the job interesting, exciting as well as a bit difficult.</p>
<p>There is an inherent contradiction in the field of fashion photography; as it is in most other commercial art forms. Fashion photography is, purportedly, a vehicle for the depiction and promotion of the clothes and accessories that have to be sold. Thus, it should be purely a commercial venture. In practice however, this art form has, over the years, been used as a vehicle for self expression by some of the world&#8217;s greatest photographers. As Anna Wintour, fashion editor at Vogue puts it with so much clarity, “Our needs are simple. We want a photographer to take a dress, make the girl look pretty, give us lots of images to choose from, and not give us any attitude.</p>
<p>Photographers &#8211; if they are any good &#8211; want to create art.” This statement puts the issue in perspective, but the fact remains that this itself has provided the world with some of the beautiful images in the history of photography.</p>
<p>In today’s world, fashion photography is not limited to models and designers. More and more people are getting their portfolios made. Some want to get a foothold in the fashion industry while some want to have a look at their own beauty as captured through the lenses of a professional photographer. If one wants to make a mark in the extremely competitive world of fashion and modelling, a good portfolio is one of the basic requirements. For this, one needs a good photographer or studio that captures and enhances one’s more attractive features.</p>
<p>Red Flair in Melbourne is one place where you can go to get excellent portfolios made which would be a big help for your budding career in the fashion industry. The studio has a team of professional, experienced photographers who have access to the latest photography gear. These photographers would work with you and come up with the kind of photo shoots which would be best suited to you. So, walk into Red Flair and get a head-start in the glamour industry. To get more information about fashion photography and all other types of services being offered by Red Flair, please visit them at their website www.redflair.com.au</p>
<p>
<p>Aston Park&#8217;s interest in photography outshone his aptitude for the art by an embarrassing margin. Realising early that he was not cut out for a role handling cameras and lenses, he picked up pen and paper instead and has been writing about photographers and photography related topics for a long time now. After working for so long with photographers, Aston has overcome his ineptitude with the camera and can now claim to be a handy photographer himself.</p></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>By: <b>GlobeOffer</b></em>
<div style="float:left;padding: 12px"><a href="//home/content/39/4922939/html/wp/parropia.com/wp-content/uploads/cc/Olympus_digital_camera6.jpg"><img src="//home/content/39/4922939/html/wp/parropia.com/wp-content/uploads/cc/Olympus_digital_camera6.jpg" alt='Olympus digital camera' /></a></div>
<p>Digital cameras are popular nowadays. How to choose the right digital camera for yourself? Excepting the CCD pixels, resolution, there are some Points about which you need to think.</p>
<p><strong>How to choose lens zoom range?</strong></p>
<p>A zoom lens has a variable focal length. The focal length determines the magnification of the lens. A short focal length is a wide-angle lens, great for taking in large vistas. A long focal length is a telephoto lens, allowing you to get a tight photo of a distant object or person. A zoom lens lets you combine both of these and everything in between into a single adjustable lens. If a camera has a 3X zoom, it means that the longest focal length is 3 times the shortest. You’d better consider the shooting range which you frequently used when you want to purchase a camera.</p>
<p>The digital camera with  the fixed focal length lens features in easy-operating, compact and low price although  its lens without the   optical zoom capability. If you just want to use the camera to shoot the scenes of life, portrait figures, or the commemorative photo in your travel, you can choose this one. DDC-MX650 is really the top choice for you. Mx 650 is with the 6.36M CCD, and its max resolution is 3648×2736. Usually, the camera can basically meet the quality of the normal life photo. </p>
<p>  For most photography enthusiasts, the cameras with 3X optical zoom are nice. But they are in higher price. At present the flagship products of major camera manufacturer are the 3x optical zoom models. Like Sony’s S75, S85, Olympus’ C50, C400 and Canon’s PowerShot G2. GlobeOffer’s DC-t750, dx650, and DV-5120 are also hot selling. If you like long-distance shooting objects, this time you need a greater zoom range of lenses.</p>
<p><strong>Lens aperture</strong></p>
<p>The aperture of a lens is its maximum opening. The bigger the aperture, the more light is gathered, and the less light you need to take a good photo. This is the most overlooked lens specification, but it very important, especially if you like to take photos indoors without flash or from a reasonable distance. Basically? F2.8 is nice. Many common cameras like Olympus’ C50, GlobeOffer’s DC-T750 is with F2.8.</p>
<p> <strong> about the budget</p>
<p></strong> Many people like purchasing cameras in brand name. Although they seem have quality warranty. But usually these cameras are in high price. More and more people like choosing cameras on online camera shops like GlobeOffer. These cameras are also in high performance and at least under one year quality warranty. Moreover, they are in lower charming price, in various styles.  Just a few clicks, you can save you many time and money comparing with buying a camera in a supermarket.</p>
<p> All in all, the above are some experiences of me to buy a digital camera. Hope you can get a little help from it.</p>
<p>
<p>interesting in consumer electronics and gadgets, like car dvd players, car monitors, car mp3 players, stylish mp3/mp4 players, camera and camcorders.</p></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>By: <b>Andrew Malek</b></em>
<div style="float:left;padding: 12px"><a href="//home/content/39/4922939/html/wp/parropia.com/wp-content/uploads/cc/Digital_camera_deals12.jpg"><img src="//home/content/39/4922939/html/wp/parropia.com/wp-content/uploads/cc/Digital_camera_deals12.jpg" alt='Digital camera deals' /></a></div>
<p>Especially in today&#8217;s troublesome economy, with the high prices of digital cameras, rechargeable batteries, tripods, filters, and other accessories, you might be tempted to save some money by purchasing cheaper, generic digital camera media. And why not? Photos taken with cheaper media should look just the same as those taken with more expensive media, as long as the files get written correctly. Your JPG images will not come out more pixilated, and uncompressed TIFF and RAW files will contain the same information.</p>
<p>However, &#8220;saving money&#8221; has a few potential downsides:</p>
<p>* Brand name digital camera memory cards may be faster than their generic equivalents. If your digital camera supports the faster write speeds, you can take photos quicker by not waiting as long for your digital camera to store information onto the media. This is especially important if you wish to use drive mode and take multiple images in quick succession, useful for sporting events, wildlife photography, and other situations involving fast-moving subjects.</p>
<p>* Brand name digital camera memory may prove to be more reliable. On some generic memory I have used, even though the media did not outright fail, if you shot multiple photos quickly the memory card could &#8216;hang&#8217;, causing some photos to be lost. Since the photos were never successfully written to the media, they were unrecoverable.</p>
<p>* Brand name digital camera media may have limited warranties. If the media proves to be defective within a certain period of time after the purchase, it might be possible to get a replacement memory card. Some warranties may provide replacements at no charge; others might require modest shipping and handling charges.</p>
<p>Even with limited warranties, however, any lost photos on the defective media may remain lost. In some instances, media recovery applications may help. While I don&#8217;t vouch for any particular software package, publishers include DataRescue, Jufsoft, and MediaRECOVER.</p>
<p>* Brand name digital camera memory may be rated to handle better in extreme conditions (hot and cold environments), useful if you plan on mountain climbing or shooting photos at a beach or desert. Of course, in such environments you may deal with other weather-related problems such as faster-draining batteries and condensation forming on the camera lens.</p>
<p>* Even if you want to purchase brand name digital camera memory, you may be tempted to purchase such media from lesser known stores, online outlets, or auction sites. After purchasing items at some establishments (though certainly not all), you might find yourself with counterfeit memory, generic memory repackaged as brand name! Such memory may increase the chances of data corruption, perform slower than advertised, and quite possibly damage the camera as you insert or remove the media. Plus, counterfeit memory lacks any true warranty, even if the fake packaging claims one is offered. As the adage goes, if a price is too good to be true, it just may be.</p>
<p>(Note that if this scam happens to you, you cannot always blame the store for the sale. It may have unknowingly purchased this memory from a fraudulent distributor.)</p>
<p>I am not recommending always buying the most expensive media at the most expensive retailer &#8211; the choice is yours. Some of the above potential downsides may not apply to your digital camera or your shooting conditions. You might not require faster shooting, and certainly not all generic memory will corrupt your data. However, for those truly concerned about their photos being written correctly and transferrable to backup media without incidents, paying a few extra bucks may prove to be money well spent.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[From cruise ship musician to custom exhibit builder, finding a job that pays you to travel and see the world can be very rewarding.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>By: <b>Kimberly Green</b></em><br />After I graduated college with a B.A. in Music, I decided (as many recent college grads do) that I would set out and see the world. Unfortunately, one month after I graduated, student loan bills started rolling in. After receiving many “cease and desist” letters from the loan company after trying to coax them into giving me a year off to see Europe and the Americas, I realized that I had no choice but to get a job. After seeing so many of my friends graduate college only to find debt and low wages on the other side, I knew that I couldn’t just settle down and fill the first position that would hire me. My mind began to stir with ways I could travel AND make money.</p>
<p>After my ass had become sore from my own kicking, wishing I had majored in journalism (hehehe I got into the field anyways!), I read an article in a music magazine about working on a cruise ship, so I applied. As it was, the cruise ship was only a few weeks away from its trans-Atlantic Mediterranean cruise and their dinner-music string quartet desperately needed a cellist. Having played double bass extensively, but never cello, I applied anyways and spent the following week learning all the Brahms and Strauss I could on that old bugger. Unfortunately, the audition piece was from the Baroque period, but I managed through it and got the job.</p>
<p>And what a job it was! I was able to see places I’d never dreamed of, all while enjoying the full amenities of a 5-star cruise ship. My room and board were paid for, so my seemingly small paycheck was all able to be funneled into my student loan. It was fantastic, but as all dream jobs go, it didn’t last very long—my stringed comrades and I were replaced with a set of speakers and an iPod by the next cruise season. Apparently the ship had been serving sub-par beef and our jobs were the first to go in order to provide better food for the patrons.</p>
<p>This job left me with a rare disease that sends those who suffer from it all over the world in search of a cure… I had caught the traveling bug! With my student loans finally paid off, I had literally no savings to fund such a trip, so I needed to find a job that would either take me on the road, or let me take it. After tossing around the idea of being a trucker, I later rejected the idea because I’d embarked on road trips all around the Southwest… there’s nothing to see out there! Just a lot of flat, straight roads and cows everywhere, and boy do those cattle stink! I needed something that would take me further away from home and I found such a job building, oddly enough, tradeshow exhibits.</p>
<p>At first I thought, how hard can it be? Nailing together some plywood, maybe a little painting and gluing? Boy was I wrong. The exhibit manufacturer is a truly artistic outfit and the design behind their exhibits shows. I was able to travel all across the United States and as far west as Asia building these exhibits. Though I’m not getting paid to rosin a bow and draw strings anymore, I enjoy the work I do. Being an exhibit manufacturer It’s still a venue for my creativity, I still get to work in harmony with my colleagues, and between the setup and dismantling of the exhibits, I get to go out and explore the cities we visit. In fact, we’re in Tokyo right now for three days! You would not believe how amazing this city is! I can’t wait to see it after the sun goes down! Sayonara!</p>
<p>
<p>Kim Green shares her brother’s story and his fascination with elaborate trade <a href="http://www.expo3.com">tradeshow exhibits</a>, being an <a href="http://www.expo3.com">exhibit manufacturer</a> now.  Finding the right <a href="http://www.expo3.com">exhibit manufacturer</a> will help you create a great presence that can get those potential customers biting at your next tradeshow.</p></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>By: <b>kathy19850105</b></em>
<div style="float:left;padding: 12px"><a href="//home/content/39/4922939/html/wp/parropia.com/wp-content/uploads/cc/Cheap_electronics40.jpg"><img src="//home/content/39/4922939/html/wp/parropia.com/wp-content/uploads/cc/Cheap_electronics40.jpg" alt='Cheap electronics' /></a></div>
<p>Choosing a good electronics wholesaler can be confusing. Just because a website shows up in an advertisement or near on the beginning of a search engine results list does not suggest that it&#8217;sreputable. Here are some ideas to find out if a company is a appropriate source of cost effective wholesale electronics.</p>
<p>One of the quickest fastest ways to do a cursory review of the wholesaler is to run a search of the business name on the Better Business Bureau&#8217;s website. If there have been any customer complaints lodged with the bureau you can see the nature of the complaint to see what sort of problems others had with the company . If there is a trend of clients receiving inadequate products, not getting refunds, or other problems you will probably want to avoid that shop. However, if there are infrequent complaints about different difficulties, then the wholesaler is probably a trustworthy with the occasional unhappy client.</p>
<p>Another thing to consider is reviewing not just electronics wholesalers, but wholesalers in general. Lots of wholesalers have a varied categories of types of items for sale and have an electronics {division even though they don&#8217;t specialize solely in electronics. More diverse wholesalers may be able to offer more cost effective things since they have more diverse products and a bigger consumer population base overall.</p>
<p>The area an wholesaler of electronics is based is something else to take into consideration. Businesses that are exporting from other countries may cause you to have to incur an import tax. This may present a large expense if you frequently place orders for very big amounts of electronics. The shipping cost itself may also be more inhibitive from other countries.</p>
<p>The array of items each reseller store offers should also thought about. it&#8217;s more effective to find one company to work with on a regular basis. If you find a resell store that has most of the electronics items you need, keep almost all of your purchases with that electronics wholesaler. Over time you possibly can negotiate lower discount rates on mailing, get trial offers of new technology items, and other benefits that come with being a good and valued shopper.</p>
<p>It is still good to window shop other businesses&#8217; catalogs though, to make sure you are obtainingcompetitive deals and a big selection of new products. If you find better priced electronic products or new products that you&#8217;d like your wholesaler to offer mention it to a customer service representative with the company. Many businesses will beat deals or offer other electronics if a consumer suggests it. resellers want to keep their clients happy.</p>
<p>
<p>I have great interest in wholesale china goods such as wholesale electronics.<br />
<br />As a famous wholesaler, I have engaged in this line for more than 10 years.<br />
<br />I am glad to share experiences of <a href="http://www.dhgate.com">china wholesale</a> with you.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>By: <b>li cornner</b></em><br />As we know the life of digital camera battery is one of the most important factors in your enjoyment of photography.

<p>Our Canon digital camera batteries is especially well suited for those who use their digital cameras with moderate frequency &#8211; such as two or three times a month. &quot;Digital cameras are central to consumers&#8217; lives, and these sophisticated devices have high energy demands,&quot; said Mr Lu, vice president of marketing manager of Sourcingmap . &quot;Approximately three out of four consumers currently power their digital cameras with ordinary alkaline batteries, which can lead to frustrating results. Fueled by an advanced technology, But our will deliver longer-lasting performance and a more satisfying experience &#8211; especially for moderate camera users.&quot;</p>
<p>Some users want to know what camera features consume the most energy and how you can squeeze more life time out of your digital camera battery.</p>
<p>Generally speaking,The biggest energy consumers in a digital camera are the LCD screen and the motors that move the mechanical components of the camera such as the lenses when focusing or zooming. The other big energy consumers are the motors. Digital cameras have motors the move the lenses either to change the zoom or to focus. Motors consume relatively a lot of energy when moving the digital camera optical components. And finally the flash is a big energy consumer too. Shooting photos using the flash consumes more energy that shooting photos without flash.</p>
<p>So some skillful photographer have a few simple guidelines which can significantly improve power consumption and make their Canon digital camera batteries life last longer.</p>
<p>Turn off the LCD and use the viewfinder;</p>
<p>Minimize photo previewing;</p>
<p>Do not use continuous focus when not necessary;</p>
<p>Carry another battery; Two batteries have twice the energy of one.</p>
<p>Recharge whenever you can;</p>
<p>Plan for battery consumption.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>By: <b>John Curry</b></em>
<div style="float:left;padding: 12px"><a href="//home/content/39/4922939/html/wp/parropia.com/wp-content/uploads/cc/Currys29.jpg"><img src="//home/content/39/4922939/html/wp/parropia.com/wp-content/uploads/cc/Currys29.jpg" alt='Currys' /></a></div>

<p>According to the Environmental Protection Agency, more than 290 million scrap tires are generated in the United States every year. While recycling tires has increased dramatically in recent years, the fact remains that there are too many used tires clogging our landfills. On the surface, this may not seem like a huge problem, but tire piles are more than just a nuisance &#8211; they are a health hazard. They attract pests like rodents who nest in them and mosquitoes that live in the stagnant rain water collected in the tires. In addition, if the tires catch fire, they produce black smoke and air pollutants, posing significant risks to humans, animals and the environment.</p>
<p>Fortunately, we can help to solve the problem by finding creative ways to recycle and reuse tire rubber. Here are five ways to keep tires out of landfills:</p>
<p>1. Curb ramps &#8211; Made from crumb rubber, auto curb ramps are used to bridge the gap from street to driveway in neighborhoods where rollover curbs make the transition difficult. In a three-piece curb bridge set, 12 tires are recycled.</p>
<p>2. Highway resurfacing &#8211; In several states crumb rubber is being mixed with recycled and virgin asphalt materials attaining a high reduction of internal vehicle noise as well as a reduction of highway noise in highly populated areas. This reduces the amount of limited resource virgin asphalt being used.</p>
<p>3. Highway sound barriers &#8211; Many states are now using sound barriers to protect neighborhoods from the loud noises produced by nearby highways. In northern Virginia, a sound barrier was developed using a mixture of concrete aggregate, cement, water and small pieces of shredded tires. Sounds are absorbed by this &#8220;Whisper Wall.&#8221;</p>
<p>4. Rubber surfacing &#8211; Rubber tires are being used as playground and running track surfacing. The resulting material is durable as well as soft, lessening the impact of a fall and reduces injury to runners. This same material is also being used as mulch in road medians or landscaping areas.</p>
<p>5. Tires as fuel &#8211; Scrap tires can be used as fuel in shredded form or whole to make tire-derived fuel (TDF). TDF produces the same amount of energy as oil and 25% more energy than coal, and is used as a supplemental fuel source to wood and coal. In 2003, 130 million scrap tires were used for fuel.</p>
<p>These solutions are typically utilized by manufacturers, construction companies and government entities in their zeal to cut costs and be environmentally-friendly. Consumers can help too by using and properly maintaining durable tires, purchasing used tires and retreads, and buying products made from recycled tires like tire swings, floor mats and curb ramps.</p>
<p>
<p>If you&#8217;d like an environmentally-friendly solution to annoying rollover curbs, <a href="http://www.bridjit.com">visit us online</a>. We&#8217;ll show you how to reduce the jar to your car while using a product made from crumb rubber. Made in the USA, our auto curb ramps affordable, easy to install and good for the environment.

<div style="float:left;padding: 12px"><a href="//home/content/39/4922939/html/wp/parropia.com/wp-content/uploads/cc/Compare_digital_cameras15.jpg"><img src="//home/content/39/4922939/html/wp/parropia.com/wp-content/uploads/cc/Compare_digital_cameras15.jpg" alt='Compare digital cameras' /></a></div>
<p>Capturing moments was never so easy before digital cameras came into the photography world. Ever since, there has been a big international market dealing with digital cameras. Japan, South Korea and China have been the main players in manufacturing new digital cameras since its inception. Today, no media house can run without digital cameras. Forget media agencies, in our day-to-day life, we have started considering digital camera as a handbag&#8217;s must-keep item. It has truly given a new definition to the world of photography.</p>
<p>Many kinds of digital cameras with different features are hovering around the market today. And you need to decide on your choices and pick up the right one that fits your clicking needs. You must have already heard a lot about the top brands such as Kodak, Nikon, Canon, Minolta, Sony, Panasonic, Polaroid, Olympus, Fujifilm, HP, Samsung, etc. This article discusses features of famous brands and models of digital cameras to help you select the right one for yourself.</p>
<p>To start your selection process, you must consider whether you are looking for small and compact pocket camera, an advanced camera, a high zoom capability camera, or an SLR camera. These can range from USD 100 to USD 2,000. You will need to take your pick based on your budget and requirements.</p>
<p>What are the features that you should compare between brands while selecting a digital camera? The most important feature is its resolution in mega pixel. In simple language, this figure tells you how much you can expand your picture without parting with its quality. The higher the resolution, the better. But this doesn’t mean that you have to go for the highest available model in the market. Usually people print photos that are sized 4&#215;6 in or 5&#215;7 in – for this any camera above 4 mega pixels will deliver great results.</p>
<p>Other feature that you should evaluate is zoom-in capability. Optical zoom and digital zoom are different terms. Optical zoom means actual zoom done by the lenses, while digital zoom simply increases the size of the picture display without increasing any details. In simple terms 3x optical zoom means you can get three times closer picture of the image you see with your eyes. For this reason, optical zoom is better.</p>
<p>The third important feature is compatibility with other devices. Find out if the camera you are going to buy is compatible with your computer, printer, memory card, USB drive, etc. Cameras have inbuilt flash memory but the space is limited, so you would have to buy external memory cards, popularly known as Secure Digital Card (SDC) and Multi Media Card (MMC).</p>
<p>The next important feature is the size of the screen that provides digital display of the image instantly. These screens were the major reason that digital cameras replaced conventional cameras so fast. The screen gives you the ability to review the image and delete the ones you do not like. The LCD digital camera screens are up to 3 inches in width.</p>
<p>The other features that make your camera more convenient include automatic light adjustment, automatic flash, red-eye reduction, file format (TIFF, RAW or JPEG), audio and video capability, image stabilizer, manual controls for aperture and exposure, camera speed, weight and size, body type, battery type (lithium of normal), battery life, picture modes for morning light, day light, cloudy day, etc.</p>
<p>The varieties and features of digital cameras are so many that it becomes really difficult for a first-timer to select one. This is worsened by everyday technological advancements. But all the features mentioned above impart a whole new dimension to photography and they make it easier for even an amateur to click great quality pictures.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Wildlife can be approached in many ways. Instead of a portrait style photo, it can be a great challenge to capture the subject in its environment. This draws on all your wildlife photography skills, and your landscape photography skills as well.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>By: <b>Andrew Goodall</b></em><br />photography is such a broad topic, it can mean many things to many people. As a wildlife photographer, you need to be able to adapt your style to suit the subject and the surroundings.</p>
<p>Often your subject will be found in a setting that appears unnatural or unattractive in a photograph. For example, you may be taking photos in a zoo, but you don&#8217;t want the enclosure to appear in your picture. In these situations, the best approach is to zoom right in on the subject. This eliminates as much of the background as possible, and thanks to a narrow depth of field you can ensure that what little background can be seen is out of focus.</p>
<p>On the other hand, what if your wildlife subject is found in a beautiful landscape? Now you have an opportunity to take a completely different type of wildlife photograph; one in which the focus is not just on the subject, but how it relates to the environment you find it in.</p>
<p>Who hasn&#8217;t admired images of majestic elephants or giraffes trekking across an African plain with snow-capped mountains in the distance? In Australia we marvel at shots of kangaroos on a tropical beach, dingos on Fraser island, emus crossing an outback plain.</p>
<p>Photographs like these may have wildlife as the central theme, but as a photographer it is wise to think of them as landscape photographs. By approaching the lighting and composition as you would a landscape, you can use your skills to bring both the subject and its environment into focus.</p>
<p>In terms of lighting, the usual landscape rules apply. Early morning and late afternoon is usually the best time to take your photos, when the light is soft and the contrast is low. The warmth and softness of the light does more than just enhance the landscape; it also adds character to the wildlife, and can eliminate unwanted shadows from the face of the subject. With just the right angle, you may catch that sparkle in the eye that really brings your photo alive.</p>
<p>Just like landscape photography, there are exceptions to this rule. If your subject is found in the rainforest, or other places where there is patchy light and shade, it can be preferable to take your photos on cloudy days. In these conditions the contrast is reduced, allowing a nice even light throughout your photo.</p>
<p>So in terms of lighting, this type of wildlife photography actually calls on all of your usual landscape skills.</p>
<p>What about composition? Again, the methods of composition you apply to landscapes are also a good guide, but the animal subject adds a whole new dimension to the process. The way you position your animal has a big impact on the success of the image.</p>
<p>Remember your rule of thirds? If you don&#8217;t know about it, do a quick google search, it is easy to find. If you can position your animal subject according to the rule of thirds, it will add balance to the composition. In fact, I can go even further&#8230;if you can position the eyes of the subject near the intersecting lines (according to the rule of thirds), you can add even further impact. Viewers of the photo are drawn to these points in a composition, so this position will create instant eye contact between the subject and the viewer. And with eye contact comes a personal connection that will help viewers really feel something from your picture.</p>
<p>Of course the rule of thirds is not the only approach. In fact, sometimes you can take a better picture by deliberately ignoring the rule and creating something a little more &#8216;off balance&#8217;. But the rule is always a good place to start if you are struggling to find a composition that really works.</p>
<p>Another useful guide is to have your subject facing into the picture, not out of it. The eyes have a very powerful effect in a photo; we tend to look the way they are pointing.</p>
<p>That means if your animal is towards the left of the frame, it should be looking to the right, towards the centre of the picture. If you can set the shot up so that the animal is facing toward something you want to feature in the distance (remember, this is a wildlife photo, but it is also a landscape photo) you can achieve something quite special. Not only will the position of the background object become more prominent, you can actually suggest a relationship between the subject and the surroundings. Your photo will become like a story of the animal and the world it lives in.</p>
<p>All rules are made to be broken, so as a famous pirate once said, &#8220;They&#8217;re more like guidelines, really.&#8221; Nature is so diverse, there is never a single easy way to approach a subject. However, if you can occasionally capture an image that connects the viewer, the animal and the landscape, you will truly have a photograph to remember. In the meantime, you are going to have plenty of fun trying!</p>
