Week 34 - Technical: The Wild Side

August 20, 2018 (232/365) • Week 34 - Technical: The Wild Side

“We can lift ourselves out of ignorance, we can find ourselves as creatures of excellence and intelligence and skill. We can be free! We can learn to fly!” ~ Richard Bach, Jonathan Livingston Seagull

[Capturing a captivating wildlife photograph requires knowledge of your camera settings and the behavior of the animal. Capture a compelling wildlife photograph that has proper subject alignment (e.g., no "bird butts") and exposure. For an easy introduction, urban critters (e.g., squirrels) are easy targets. For an advanced challenge, a bird in flight could be considered.] #dogwoodweek34, #dogwood52, #dogwood2018
