PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS for capturing the magic of the Galapagos! 📸
Whether you’re using a smartphone or a basic camera, these tips will help you snap incredible shots of the unique wildlife and landscapes. 🐢🌋
1. Get respectfully close and low:
Wildlife in the Galapagos is often unafraid of humans, so take advantage of this! Get close (but respectful) to your subject, and try shooting from a lower angle for a more intimate perspective.
2. Use natural light:
Early mornings and late afternoons offer the best lighting. The soft, golden light during these times can make your photos look stunning without needing any fancy equipment.
3. Focus on the eyes:
Whether it’s a marine iguana or a sea lion, focusing on the eyes of the animal can bring your photos to life. It creates a connection between the subject and the viewer.
4. Be patient and ready:
Wildlife can be unpredictable. Have your camera ready and be patient—sometimes the best shots come from waiting for that perfect moment.
5. Keep it Simple:
You don’t need the latest gear to capture great shots. A smartphone or basic camera can work wonders!
