ABSTRACT

Capturing truly sharp images is the result of using excellent lenses, employing superb shooting techniques, and pinpoint focusing. In wildlife photography, the main goal is to focus precisely on the eyes of the subject to make them as sharp as possible. In some ways, this makes wildlife photography easier than landscape or macro photography because everyone instantly knows where the pinpoint focus should lie. Most cameras offer a dioptric adjustment knob that lets them adjust the clarity of the viewfinder to best suit one’s eyesight. The most serious problem in using the multiple focusing point option is it tends to focus on the nearest object in the scene. Photograph a hyena peering through the grass and it will quickly and precisely focus on the grass in front of it. DSLR offers at least two focusing modes and possibly more. The two most common ones include One-Shot AF and continuous focus.
