Photography Tips And Tricks – From Our Experts At Falcon Safaris

To make the most of your photography trip to Victoria Falls, it’s important to come prepared with the right gear and techniques. Below are some of our suggestions for capturing the best photographs while on Victoria Falls Tours:

  • Consider taking some Polaroid filters. They will enhance the color of the skies and clouds.
  • To take shots from a variety of angles, a tripod works best.
  • To get a great effect on the cascading waters of the falls, you should get your shutter speed down to about 30th/seconds. A tripod will also be helpful for this.
  • Wide-angle lenses can’t be advised enough. They will allow you to take some amazing panoramic shots. A 28mm lens is recommended, though 17mm will also work.
  • To get shots of the tight sections of the falls, you can’t go wrong with a telephoto lens.

Remember that because of the amount of light, you’ll require one or two neutral-density filters to slow down your shutter speed. Moreover, don’t hesitate to experiment with different shutter speeds to capture the movement of the falls.
