Conservation Nature Photography Final Project

Hey Everyone here are 30 photographs that I took this semester for conservation nature photography. A lot of my photos are of animals that. I took the time to change the point of view and perspective of the subject and experimented with framing the photo. Hope that you enjoy looking through them and hope you have a great day.








 ISO 200, 500mm, F/6.7, 1/250sec
This Photo that I took  with a low f/ to get the chipmunk and the rock that it was on in the depth the field while blurring the background of the bush with the blue dots, to create different exposures which adds focus to the chipmunk. I cropped this photo and tilted it so that the  rock comes in from the top right corner and moves toward the bottom left side of the Photo creating a diagonal line.Subject placed in the ideal left top right third of the photo.
Telephoto Zoom Lens 170-500mm F5-6.3

 ISO 400, 170mm, F/6.7,1/60sec
Photo taken with a lower f/ and a slower shutter speed to bring more light into the photo. The photo was cropped and tilted so that the branches created good red diagonal. The back round behind the photo has a nice Fall color blur. The subject was placed to the right rule of third.

 ISO 400, 300mm, F/16, 1/500sec
Detailed center photo of a bunny used a high F/ to get not only the bunny in the depth the field, but almost all of the photo. Added space toward the bunny;s head view point and above his ears so that the photo was not as compressed making a better portrait of the bunny. Photo was taken very underexposed, but light room exposure changes were able to brighten it up to be a presentable photo.

Photo was taken as experimentation with the position of the bird to the branches. The solid blue background adds effect and interest to the photo with the curved branches and spiked seed.  Position has a good diagonal with the branches going through the phot and I like the position of the seeds directly above the birds head making a crown.
