TIPS FOR

PHOTO

"The reason I took this photo is because I absolutely LOVE wildlife. I have always had a tendency to take more photos of Fauna and Flora than anything else. I like to take photos of wildlife because they represent the freedom and joy to be free. Even though the Bald-Eagle is the national bird of the U.S, you tend to find Eagles here instead of the United States. A few of my favourite animals to take pictures of are eagles, birds, horses, my guinea pigs and I also like to take pictures of places I visit."

TIP: If you have trouble keeping a steady hand, kneel down if possible to steady the camera, thus having a nice image! Or, if you can't kneel down, balance it on a nearby object.

TIP: One tip that I have for anyone who wants to take a picture, is use the rule of thirds. This is a rule stating that if the subject of your photo is placed in the middle, it can make your picture seem bland. The rule that suggests that would be more interseting if you were to put the the subject to the right or to the left of the photo.
