Tiger tips

[tecboy]

I'm a bit struggle on shooting animals behind the fences. Sometimes, I get good and sharp pictures of tigers, and other times I don't. Tips anyone?

Don't shoot through the fence.... it totally ruins the shot.

You would have to be close to the fence for it to be so far from Ur dof

Oh Okay, I'll shoot close to the fence. The zoo or animal theme park is the only way I can shoot tigers and lions. Unless, I travel to China or Africa. It is not too bad to shoot animals through the fence. It just give the feeling that they are in the cage.

Get as close as possible to the fence and shoot at as large an aperture as you can. The fence will disappear.

For the fence to disappear, you need to be close to it, but also the subject needs to be far from it... I would say about 8ft,at least.
If the animal is too close to the fence, I don't think you'll be able to make it disappear.
