For a better picture in the bushes cordon and drive running

Within the special methods of filming in the jungle or disguised pursuits of animals and achieving the best images during the movement of the animal or bird, we stand here at two important points, which are the adoption of a motor that winds the film mechanically and the process of encircling the animal within the viewfinder to achieve more than one successful model for our shots, including special shots that go beyond realistic representation for the photo

Photography inside the jungle, in addition to its conditions and methods of disguise, needs good technical equipment that contributes to achieving exciting and fast shots without complications and slowdowns. The problem is that by replacing the nomadic devices for winding the film - as for the rewinding process - with mechanical ones that make the camera pliable and more suitable for dealing with the quick reactions of wild animals.

It should be noted here that Mechanical drives for film winding are available for most camera systems at the present time, and the first devices were smaller and easier for the photographer to move around while chasing animals and relieve his fatigue that is not limited to just critical for taking pictures. This winding drive engine can be adopted to deal with the subject in a shot One or to run continuously in becoming lighter to find the animal, but rather it needs more other operations such as adjusting the focus, exposure, point of view, content, and so on. So anything that frees the photographer from nomadic processes that has in-the-moment worth of still shots is worth noting Continuous play consumes the roll of film quickly without the photographer noticing, which makes it after a moment without enough frames for the next showdown. Hence, photographers in the jungle prefer to play for one shot, enabling them to get what suits them from successive shots, except according to his need. But this necessarily needs some practice to give results from the compromise solution if they expect in advance that important events will follow very quickly. One of the alternatives to this situation is for the photographer to leave the operating motor on its continuous movement, with a light pressure on the button control to obtain single or double shots - or more and when chasing animals
Cautious or unstable, the operating motor should be used conservatively because it is noisier than the nomadic winding tool, and this will startle the animal, who will often run away the moment the shutdown button is pressed to get the shot, which means that the need to adopt wisdom is required to determine the best moment for capture and it is known that the animal will run away Always opposite the source of the sound, which also means that the following shots will be inappropriate because they will focus on the background of the fleeing animal. So, when the animal is comfortable and not yet aware of the presence of a stranger in its surroundings, the photographer here must take the first basic shot with the nomadic shutdown button, before using the operating motor with its additional noise. This is where the ability to exploit the following moments emerges in achieving continuous shots that have the most important of them. Continuous shots can only be achieved by the mechanical drive, and with its placement in the continuous work framework, it provides us with capture at a rate of up to five frames per second. Most of the engines are characterized by the ability to control the rate of shots, although The faster speeds are confined to the faster shutter conditions, finally, despite what is said about the similarity between the motorized camera and the A camera. For a cinematic, we should not wait for miracles from it. Even with five frames per second, you will not be able to record only a small part of the animal's activity, which is characterized by the speed of movement and with the great speed provided by the engine. We consume the language of film quickly, and this necessitates the installation of huge films - 250 frames, for example - and it remains that it is better to record continuous shots over short periods and only at the peak of animal activity.

One of the main conditions for a photographer inside the bush is to be familiar with the requirements for photographing targets The animation, especially since he will find himself forced most of the time to photograph the fleeing animals, and although the shots that depict an animal fleeing from the face of the camera are unpalatable shots, some of these shots, depending on the locations of their filming, may give us a successful and distinctive photograph, especially when the animal finds itself forced to flee past the site Vision for the photographer. The success and accuracy of the image depends on the compatibility of the shutter focus location with the speed of the animal as it passes the frame of the image. His movement across his viewfinder. This style
It is known as “panning” and often achieves the required success, as it is possible to freeze the largest movements practiced by a large animal. In this case, the background is blurry with all shutter speeds - except for the maximum one - giving an additional benefit to the meaning of movement, and here it should be emphasized the importance of conveying the impression of speed via photo.
