6. Top tips for low light photography?
There is no easy way around this. If your camera cannot deal well with noise at higher ISOs, then you will not enjoy the experience. If you can keep up and your camera is well equipped, then try and keep your ISO higher (3200 – 6400), and your shutter speed respectable (160 – 400). Another trick would be to try using a spotlight. If it becomes frustrating, put the camera down and enjoy the sighting. It is often when lions and leopards are on their best behaviour.
7. Any pre-settings suggestions to have readily available?
Very simple. Fast shutter speeds are often achieved by raising your ISO settings.
8. Has there been a change from old-school wildlife photography to new-age wildlife photography? And how do aspiring photographers balance them?
Technology brings about many changes and we are currently progressing from DSLR to mirrorless. Cameras are becoming better at dealing with different conditions, shooting better quality images, shooting faster, capturing more data, building stronger yet lighter and more. The same goes for lenses. It is truly exciting and opens doors for many more to get better images.
