Animal Photography: Some of My Favorites

What? You thought I was done with talking about the awesome Lazy 5 Ranch?

Nope, because I didn't even show you the best photos yet!

Animal photography is super hard. Or, at least for me it is, since I've only had a nice camera since March, so I'm still learning. And since I'm still learning, and animals don't seem to like to stay still for photo ops, I always shoot them on continuous shot (I took almost 1,000 photos the ~3 hours we were at the ranch!). Most of them turn out blurry, but sometimes I luck out and get a really clear or really cute shot, like I did with the photos in this post. So of course I had to share!

This guy way so silly, and because of continuous shot, I was able to make a funny GIF.

The giraffe, and his tongue, was one of my favorite animals.

Munching on food photos are fun, but were really hard for me to get because of all the fast chewing!

Sometimes all it takes is a little cropping to make a photo a favorite.

Eyelashes!

This guy was a rarity, he was actually posing for me, and I was sure to reward him after taking his picture by throwing him some food.

Sad panda rhino.

Some more favs.

And I saved the very best of the best for last, the baby animals! I love the side-eye look this grumpy baby cow is giving the camera.

Baby pigs wiggle A LOT. So hard to get a clear picture!

And my two favorite baby deer photos.

Do you like taking photos of animals? Any tips for taking clear photos of them, or do you also rely on a little luck with the continuous shot setting on your camera?
