Composition in the Field - Photography Workshop

Capturing compelling photos of inhabitants of the zoo is a waiting game. There are ways of minimizing artificial settings depending on specific lens selection and you can also accessorize an environmental portrait of a creature by purposely including a fence post, bush or tree. Throughout the Dallas Zoo you will find a number of the animals within a body of water that creates the chance to add drama with reflections of the beast. This can be tricky on a sunny day but your instructor will talk to you about filters to minimize glare and enhance saturation.

There are always composition techniques beyond dead center to more dramatically capture the animal and zoom in shots that reach into the inner thoughts of your subject. It is a matter of biding your time until the moment presents itself.

Dallas Zoo tickets range from $8 to $24 based on seasonal periods at the Zoo. The Zoo parking is $12 for non-members year round.
