How to Compose Wildlife Photographs - Tips and Techniques. In this video I share tips on how to improve your composition. There's a few useful rules, including the rule of thirds - but so much depends on all the elements in the frame and how you wish to use them.

Half way through your video and I’m just WAITING for you to knock your camera off the table...it’s RIGHT on the edge. Will he, won’t he...I’m staying tuned for sure.

@DarrellOakdenPhotography 4 года назад

Thanks for this Paul I really enjoy your content. I did a composition video a few weeks ago on my channel.

@PaulMiguelPhotography 4 года назад

Cheers Darrell. Really tough subject I think. And very subjective.

Nice

good

I don't know anything about taking photos but it looks interesting. It's like an art in my opinion. The world is a canvas and the camera is the brush.🙂👍💯

You are dreaming if you think telephone wires add to a composition. I am beginning to think there are far too many so-called you-tube "experts". Most of them don't know what they are talking about, just post video after pointless video, spouting out the same old garbage.

@tonyturner7676 4 года назад

Some lovely images, Paul, and sound advice. If you’ve reminded me of one thing it’s that I’m guilty of zooming in too tightly too often and not including enough of the surrounding flora. Thank you, and by the way, how did your 1DX not end up on the ground? OMG!

@PaulMiguelPhotography 4 года назад

i do like the wider shots. DX was fine.. Yes, it was quite close!

@robertlawrence7958 4 года назад

I spent most the time watching this video waiting for you to knock the camera off the edge of that table!! Not good for the nerves 😕 Very nice images, well chosen to illustrate your points.

@badger6576 4 года назад

Hi, is the Nikon D500 a good camera? I’m also thinking of a sigma 150- 600 mm lens.

@DarrellOakdenPhotography 4 года назад

Planted Tank2323 I have a friend with a D500. He uses it with a Nikon 200-500 for shooting wildlife. The crop sensor effectively gives a longer focal length. I have seen good reviews for the Sigma and nearly bought myself before hearing how great the Nikon 200-500 performs.

@PaulMiguelPhotography 4 года назад

Check Tom Mason on RU-vid. Done some great reviews on Nikon.

@joepalmer75 4 года назад

As always great tips. Comments about placing subject in different areas of frame to show space/movement of great value and liked comment about shooting with purpose. A lot to think about. Thanks.

@PaulMiguelPhotography 4 года назад

Cheers Joseph. That's appreciated.

@Quyanxi 4 года назад

Thanks a lot for sharing your professional tips with us, Paul! Whenever there was a frame with you talking, I couldn't move my eyes off the camera fearing it'd fall off the wobbly table :D Hope it didn't!

@PaulMiguelPhotography 4 года назад

Sorry!

@rogersteele9890 4 года назад

Nice shots and helpful tips...question, do you ever shoot with a teleconverter on your 400 mm?

@PaulMiguelPhotography 4 года назад

Only ocasionally Roger. It's not very good. But in good light can look fine.

@tinadorkin9564 4 года назад

Great vlog, Paul with some useful advice. Something I struggle with is composition, great pics to show alongside the explanation, thanks & keep safe

@hakanakerstrom633 4 года назад

Hi I wonder if I heard you before in my head because I that is just what I’ try to do. Thanks for this video so I know that what I do is almost rigt.

Great video Paul-my fix of nature for a while!

@clivewelch1025 4 года назад

Hi Paul all those tips and yet to me the last one was the best ripp up the rule book and do your own thing. My photography is personal to me I don't show my images to anyone I'm not looking to sell any so I'm free to experiment and at the end of the day if I like an image then great if I don't I just delete it. This may change in the future but for now I'm happy just having fun with it.

@PaulMiguelPhotography 4 года назад

Absolutely agree Clive.

@fab4500 4 года назад

1dx or 5d mark iv for wildlife?

@PaulMiguelPhotography 4 года назад

Both very similar. but 1DX has faster frame rate. And probably more durable.

@RolandGaenssler 4 года назад

Why do you use the Rule of Thirds and not Golden Ratio?

@DarrellOakdenPhotography 4 года назад

Roland Gänßler I find rule of thirds more straight forward and simpler to implement quickly.

@PaulMiguelPhotography 4 года назад

I don't know what the golden rato is.

@RolandGaenssler 4 года назад

@@PaulMiguelPhotography That is that ratio which you very often find in nature and in art. Famous artists as Leonardo da Vinci used it. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_ratio). An example: www.flickr.com/photos/128906775@N06/49983321652/ The eye of the dragonfly is on the crossing of two lines which represents the golden ratio. Lightroom gives you tzhe possibility to use Golden Ratio.

@ashstubbings2603 4 года назад

Thanks again for these tips Paul. Hey, you're not going to believe this! I've just been given..yes GIVEN a DSLR! Yes, ok it's quite an old one, a Canon 450D, so circa 2008, but a friend of mine's Dad had it for about a year and then sadly past away. He's just asked me if I wanted it! Ok, so it's not the latest 'all-singing-all-dancing' camera but what d'ya want for nothing? Never look a Gift Horse in the mouth I say!

@DarrellOakdenPhotography 4 года назад

Ash Stubbings very lucky Ash.

@PaulMiguelPhotography 4 года назад

Great stuff. Enjoy my friend.

What’s the best camera in the world? The one you have and not the one you wish you had.

@rogermullins7877 4 года назад

Please Paul, do not do that again. All through that video I spent too much time watching your arm ever so close to the camera/lens, which appeared to be perilously close to the edge of the table.
