Ein schönes Wochenende mit lieben Fotokollegen im Almtal geht zu Ende. Auch der Bär im @cumberlandwildparkgruenau scheint die Sonne in vollen Zügen zu genießen . Wir waren total happy, dass er sich uns gezeigt hat und für eine gute Dreiviertelstunde Unterhaltung vom Feinsten bot.

LOCKED ON TARGET / A lioness in hot pursuit of a zebra through a cloud of dust. If you zoom in you can see her eyes locked on her prey with an immense focus. I found her hiding in the grass by a busy waterhole, but had to wait patiently for four hours before she all of a sudden exploded out of her hiding.

I took this picture of a jaguar in the wild during my photo tour to the Pantanal in Brazil. This portrait was challenging because the cat was in the shade -- which provides ideal light -- but the light level was low. In addition, I used a 500mm lens plus a 1.4x teleconverter giving me 700mm of focal length. Super telephotos magnify movement, and to make matters even more challenging . . . I was shooting from a boat. The only way to handle this was to raise the ISO until the shutter speed was fast enough to get a sharp picture. The general rule is the shutter should be the reciprocal of the focal length or faster. In other words, if the focal length is 700mm, the shutter speed should be at least 1/700th. In this case, I fudged a little and used 1/640th. If you look at the whiskers, though, they are quite sharp. I had to raise the ISO to 2000 to obtain a fast shutter in low light, and I used the largest aperture available on the lens -- f/4. As an aside, the rangers in this area named this particular jaguar 'George'.⠀

Animals always look more impressive when you photograph them from a low perspective. Eye level or even below eye level is ideal. This gives them greater statue, and this is true for very small animals that are close to the ground as well as large animals like this polar bear. Most tour companies get photographers close to polar bears in huge tundra buggies that sit very high off the ground. When you stand up and shoot, the camera can easily be 15 feet above the bears. Looking down on these huge predators, even with a telephoto lens, is not the way to go. Some companies have lodges in which you can shoot from ground level, and this produces images that are quite compelling. The photographers are enclosed in electric fence compounds and the bears are free -- it’s a perfect photographic situation. I’m going to be scheduling such an experience again for 2019. I photographed this polar bear at the edge of the Hudson Bay about an hour by small plane north of Churchill in Canada. I was actually laying on the frozen ground so I could be as low as possible. I used a 500mm f/4 Canon lens, and the settings were 1/1000, f/8, 800 ISO.⠀

What do you do when there are several planes of focus and the autofocus mechanism can’t distinguish what the subject is? Or, more specifically, it can’t determine what the correct point of focus should be. In situations like this cheetah in tall grass where the correct focus points are obviously the eyes and not the foreground grasses, the only way to take a correctly focused picture is to switch the camera off autofocus and focus manually. Otherwise the focus mechanism will probably lock onto the grass and throw the cheetah out of focus. Even using a small lens aperture to increase depth of field won’t solve the problem. Fast changing photographic subjects like wildlife can be great for only seconds, or fractions of a second, and manual focus takes time. That’s why it’s important to identify problematic focus scenarios and make quick decisions as to whether AF will work as it should or whether the manual approach is required. My settings for this picture were 1/1000, f/2.8, 320 ISO, and I used a Canon 300mm f/2.8 telephoto.⠀
