The richest animal in beauty.......The animal is a king of jungle.....Are you interested in wildlife photography? Yes but you cannot go to Wildlife safaries....If you live in a city that has a zoo or a wildlife park, you will get the opportunity to photograph the great tiger....If you live in a small town or village, have one time during the year, particularly winter, to visit the city having a zoo, you will get the ample time to shoot and preserve the pictures of the tiger and other animals, birds, reptiles and a nice pictorial view of the jungle.
To take picture in the zoo, you are well equipped with a compact with 4x zoom, a prosumer with more longer focal lengths e.g. 10x to 36x...With a DSLR you will need a long focal length zoom as 80-200, 70-300mm etc.and a stable hand as it is difficult to move with tripod amongst lot of visitors, the children and elders running to have a look, if the tiger is near the fencing....With zoomed at 300mm, you have the benefit of having the fence almost invisible and a 15 to 30 feet distance is good enough to have closeup views of tigers..The cheetahs are cunning and rather more dangerous animals of jungle at close range and are generally kept apart and in cage...so difficult to photograph....Doesn't matter just have a higher ISO of 400/800, to obtain higher shutter speeds and aperture of f5.6 when the tigers move fast, here and there....You may be lucky when there are more than one, thus you can have more shots of the animal in different moods......as his every posture speaks.....
In the picture the tiger was in the shade in a local zoo focused at 300mm using 1/500 at f5.6,ISO 400...In dSLR you can move to ISO 800 and 1600 Though at ISO you may need some post-processing if there is less lighting.....
For compact users, set your dial on Auto, zoomed at 4x (as your camera has-may be 3x or 5x even) and it will set shutter speed,aperture and ISO required in the available lighting, may be under sun or in shade and squeeze the shutter gently....
