Wildlife Photography

Abstract

Photography is an art accomplishment in which centres mainly round correct focus, balanced composition and optimum exposure. Wildlife photography being a specialised branch of this art further entails a lot of patience-waiting for the propitious moment, waiting for the cherished position and finally waiting for the appropriate movement. It implies, as well as leads to an earnest study of animals, their habitats and their psychology. Being a specialised branch of photography, it calls for specialised equipments-camera and accessories. In this article an endeavour has been made to bring to light the lures that attract and the difficulties that beset a wildlife photographer. Foresters and people interested in wildlife would, it is believed, find it interesting and instructive and be tempted to shoot wildlife not with guns and cartridges but with cameras and films.
