Bald Eagle
For my self set assignment to go to the zoo, I went to the zoo. To be precise the safari-park Beekse Bergen. Before I delve into I the things I learned there (which I will do in a later post), I wanted to share with you one tip which I wish I knew before going:
Bring a notebook.
I would have been so happy If I would have written down the name of the animals. Now my picture will bare the name “Bird” If you do know the name of the bird let me know in the comments…
Anyone knows the name of this bird?
This tip applies not only when going to the zoo. It is good practice to carry a small notebook with you. When you take pictures there is a lot more information than that what goes in the photo. You can write down things related to the circumstances like “taken just after heavy rain” or “incoming fog” or memo’s for yourself for future shoots “come back here in Autumn”. Hope this tip help you.
Happy shooting
Why don’t you take a picture of the information you can read on the spot.
When I go to a museum I usually photograph to object and the sign so I can remember what the object was. This probably also works for animals in the zoo
