Understanding Aperture & Depth of Field for Wildlife Photography | ORYX Photo Tours Episode 3

Описание: Aperture isn’t just about light — it’s about storytelling.
In Episode 3 of the ORYX Photo Tours Wildlife Photography series, professional guide and photographer Cathan Moore dives into aperture and depth of field, breaking down how they shape your images and control the mood of your shot.
From wide-open f/2.8 portraits that isolate a lion’s gaze, to deep f/11 landscapes where every blade of grass is sharp, Cathan explains how aperture works both technically and creatively in wildlife photography.
Join him in the field as he demonstrates how subject distance, focal length, and even your shooting angle can dramatically change your background blur — and how small adjustments in position can make or break your image.

What you’ll learn in this episode:
• How aperture works inside a lens
• What affects depth of field (and how to control it)
• Common mistakes when shooting wildlife
• Using aperture effectively in low light
• Why positioning and perspective matter more than you think
• How professional guides like those at ORYX help you read light and adjust settings in real time
Whether you’re photographing elephants in open plains or leopards in dense bush, mastering aperture will take your storytelling — and your images — to the next level.
