Animals

From pets to bird sanctuaries, animal photography is fascinating and often annoying due to the typically busy nature inherent in an animal. II prefer shooting with my iPhone because so many of its camera variables are set by the computer brain and sensors in the device.

If there isn’t a zoo, aviary, or aquarium close-by, you might have good luck at a local pond or lake. Even small bodies of water in an urban setting can promise people-tolerant waterfowl and good pictures.
