Basic Tips for Photography on a Botswana Safari
The visions you have experienced on a Botswana safari will be forever engraved within your memory, however isn't it great to look back at photos in ears to come? This is why it is extremely important to take a good camera and capture a variety of shots on your safari. The remote lands of Botswana, its beautiful natural environments and roaming wildlife all make for some splendid photos and videos. Whilst there are organised photographic Botswana safari trips, a few basic tips can help any amateur photographer take superb shots whilst out in the bush. Whether you're using a less advanced digital camera, or a more advanced DSLR, the camera can only do so much of the work and your own vision and decisions will need to be made.
Capturing Landscape Shots
Botswana's diverse landscape of rich grasslands and shimmering lagoons means that the landscape photos you take will be breath-taking, if taken right! No matter where you are in Botswana, whether it's in a canoe in the Okavango region, or looking over a herd of elephants in the Chobe, the most important thing to consider is composition. Ask yourself, does the image suit a landscape or portrait set up? If you have enough time, experiment with various positions and angles. To you, everything is going to look amazing, but an empty savannah shot may turn out to be nothing like you saw when it comes out in print. Place an acacia tree in the shot, or the silhouette of an elephant or cheetah and the photo comes to life! When you take part in game drives, walking trips and boating safaris on a Botswana safari, consider the time of day you take these if you want to take good photos. Lighting, shadows and colours will all change depending on the weather and time of day.
Shooting Wildlife on a Botswana Safari
If you want to capture some wildlife shots, perhaps action ones, patience is everything! Animals are not like humans, they do not pose for photos and nature can be unpredictable. It may take you 50 goes to get the perfect shot of a family of elephants playing, or a lion chasing its prey, but as long as you are determine and pay attention; it will be well worth it! A good zoom will work wonders when shooting wildlife as you won't always get to be as near as you'd like. Use a fast shutter speed too so you can capture any quick movement with ease. An important thing to remember; make sure you know how to use your camera before you embark on a Botswana safari. Don't play around with it whilst on a game drive as it will result in a number of missed opportunities.
