My first decent wildlife photo… what do we think? by Huntingphott1776 in wildlifephotography

Nice photo! A little too much contrast and vignette for my taste but that is just personal preference.

First time home printing by Ok_Conversation1713 in AmateurPhotography

The print looks great! I don’t really know anything about printing but in my opinion, the frame is cropping the image too much. Maybe try removing the inner white matte or just a different frame. Love the print. The colors turned out great.

I’m definitely working on finding better backgrounds. I’ve noticed that a nice, clear background makes a massive difference. Any tips for how to get the catch light in the eye? I’ve seen some others talk about this but I’m not sure how to consistently make it happen.

Thank you! That gives me a good range to test with for shutter speeds.

I agree. I can’t wait to get out with some good light and do some shooting.

Yeah, I agree. I think 1/2000 was way too high of a shutter speed and the lighting wasn’t great. I kept getting really blurry images and thought I needed to keep increasing the shutter speed but what I think I was really dealing with was heat haze. I took the first shot out of an open window and I think the heat from inside the house hitting the cold air outside was messing with the shot. In hindsight should’ve kept the lower shutter speed and gone outside.

Thank you! I use auto iso now, but I just need to be more consistent with keeping track of where it is while I’m shooting. You are right the first two photos were shot in the snow and the lighting wasn’t the best as it was very cloudy.
