Hippo Birthday! Congratulation on Camera Critters first birthday :). I wish this meme a lot of joy and happiness in the upcoming years. Thanks to Misty the host and all of the wonderful participants who made it so much fun. I hope you like my special post here. The photo was taken at one of our family trips to Taman Safari Indonesia. I know that the hippo came too close to our car window, so that it was difficult to capture its full nose. Still, the critter seemed to match my intended theme quite well.

Hehe, hippo birthday.
ReplyDelete1/180s is a pretty good shutter speed for captures of slow moving or not moving subjects. When dealing with fast subjects or macros, I like to use speeds of 1/250s or faster. Birds in flight usually require at least 1/500s to completely freeze them. Water droplets can be captured at 1/500s with flash.
On the other end, if I'm looking for motion blur, I like the results I get at 1/30s and slower. My favorite speed for waterfalls is 1/5s, but with live subjects, it depends on how well I can track them and how likely they are to stay in the same plane.
Either way, experiment a lot and have fun!
WOW! What a photo! I love it, but I must admit I probably would have been a bit nervous having it that close. It sure did make for a GREAT photo though!
