00:00best camera which you can have is the one you can afford because everybody has

00:05Big big bazookas like 800 600 mm lenses and all I felt like I'm entering to a nightclub without knowing the dress code

00:19The first lesson is to know the animal behavior how much you know about that particular animal be it a bird be it a crow

00:25Or be it a lion be it a tiger

00:26You should know that how they behave it because you are going to their territory

00:31You can easily learn that from YouTube and you can easily learn from traveling with the experience people

00:36That's how I learned I travel with people not for learning photography, but to know about all these animal behaviors and all

00:47I don't go to click photos after my lunch. I go in the early morning

00:52I go in the late evening because that is a perfect time. There is a time for everything because light is

00:59Everything don't wait for the after the lunch and all because the Sun will be up on your head and the light will be very

01:04harsh

01:05You won't be able to make a good photo at that time. So

01:10Focus on light that is very important

01:17So I always

01:20Click I wanted to click the subject with the habitat because if I see a tiger or lion or a bird or anything

01:27I wanted to capture with the habitat. So mobile phone is the perfect

01:32Camera, which you can use for clicking that. So always try to make sure make your

01:39Frames try to bend if wherever possible get down from the vehicle if it is possible or else

01:46Bend yourself and make that one frame so that it will be little different

01:50Just don't go and see the subject and click and come back make your frame

01:55Composition is one of the very very important fact if I go to Amboseli in Kenya, I wanted to click Amboseli

02:03Elephants with the Kilimanjaro mountain in the background because that's the one then only you will give the justice to that place

02:08there was a rhino coming to me and I was using my

02:12Phone and clicking that with that part of the road. So it went well

02:17So what I do is I will always carry my mobile phone with me because sometimes

02:21Subjects comes very close to you at that time. You won't be able to make sure make your frames

02:32Convey a story through your photo. So I whatever whenever I go for a trip, I try to convey

02:39Tell a story through all my photos

02:41Because that way you connect to the people to that particular place a particular animal

02:46Don't worry about the quality of the photo

02:47Like how sharp the photo is how good that light and how good whether I can print it or not

02:54Don't worry about all those things

02:55So for that you and a mobile phone is enough, but make sure that you have a mobile phone in hand

03:01So try to composite with whatever the gear you have in your hand

03:08Many

03:11People think that processing means

03:13Manipulation. No, it is not manipulation processing for me is enhancing. Whatever you are captured

03:19It is one of the important fact in all the photographs because no camera can capture what you see with your naked eye

03:26Be it a very costly camera beat your locus camera

03:30Nothing can capture a scene which you have seen with your naked eye

03:33So processing is very important. For example, if there is light try to enhance that light don't add any extra elements to that that is

03:41Manipulation. So I usually use Photoshop and Lightroom and for mobiles. I use snapseed and all these apps

03:48photography is an art and

03:51Photographer is the artist not the camera
