Wildlife Photography Compositional Tips: How I Compose Wildlife Photos



Wildlife Photography Compositional Tips. How I Compose Wildlife Photos. In this video I share tips on how to improve your composition. There’s a few useful rules, including the rule of thirds – but so much depends on all the elements in the frame and how you wish to use them.

Check out this excellent video on Composition by wildlife photographer Tom Mason: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8g2hnR3k8Y

Filmed with Canon M50 and 15-45mm lens.

  4. As always great tips. Comments about placing subject in different areas of frame to show space/movement of great value and liked comment about shooting with purpose. A lot to think about. Thanks.

  10. Half way through your video and I’m just WAITING for you to knock your camera off the table…it’s RIGHT on the edge. Will he, won’t he…I’m staying tuned for sure.

  12. Some lovely images, Paul, and sound advice. If you’ve reminded me of one thing it’s that I’m guilty of zooming in too tightly too often and not including enough of the surrounding flora. Thank you, and by the way, how did your 1DX not end up on the ground? OMG!

  13. Thanks a lot for sharing your professional tips with us, Paul! Whenever there was a frame with you talking, I couldn't move my eyes off the camera fearing it'd fall off the wobbly table 😀 Hope it didn't!

  15. Hi Paul all those tips and yet to me the last one was the best ripp up the rule book and do your own thing. My photography is personal to me I don't show my images to anyone I'm not looking to sell any so I'm free to experiment and at the end of the day if I like an image then great if I don't I just delete it. This may change in the future but for now I'm happy just having fun with it.

  21. Please Paul, do not do that again. All through that video I spent too much time watching your arm ever so close to the camera/lens, which appeared to be perilously close to the edge of the table.

  23. Thanks again for these tips Paul. Hey, you're not going to believe this! I've just been given..yes GIVEN a DSLR! Yes, ok it's quite an old one, a Canon 450D, so circa 2008, but a friend of mine's Dad had it for about a year and then sadly past away. He's just asked me if I wanted it! Ok, so it's not the latest 'all-singing-all-dancing' camera but what d'ya want for nothing? Never look a Gift Horse in the mouth I say!
