Now’s the time to try out your animal photography
Countryfile (https://bit.ly/2Y5gmuz) and Springwatch (https://bbc.in/2UGkgIf), both on the BBC, both do their bit for wildlife photography.
I am a big fan of animal and bird photographs, both wild and domesticated, and I get a kick out of capturing them with my camera as well.

Hide AdThe secrets to great shots are getting close and being at eye-level, and focusing on the eyes.
Then, get as fast a shutter value as possible.
Adding context by standing back and showing the creature interacting with its environment can also work.
Why not practice on your pets at home to hone your skills?
Spring is arriving and wildlife is becoming more active, so why not get out and try to capture something living?
Here are some fantastic photographs from folk who have been doing just that.
Everyone is welcome to join Northumberland Camera Club.
