I'm not sure if or how Portrait Mode applies to scenes shot at 432mm focal length (35mm eq.). A focal length that really requires a tripod, of course. The 'yawning' image doesn't look like it has the DoF of F/3.5. I wouldn't worry too much about the technical aspects, Vinod, but rather concentrate on composition, light angles, and capturing exactly the right moment. Again and again and again.

Vinod, "Portrait mode" or scene modes wrest all control from the photographer. May I suggest for the image you posted to close down the f/stop to at least f/8 "Portrait mode" forces the camera into a wide open f/stop to do nothing but blur the background. all the best, Pete

i grow weary vinod.in the wild? you post such data as to confuse us. it's possible I am wrong about ws,and you with your arrogance and knowledge. with your stream of shutter speeds and apertures,and that time of day eludes you,well. that if I owe an apology,not to you,but to someone else I have accused,i will. sam

Thanks for the tips Will & Pete. Sam did'nt get what you wanted to convey - data given is basic exif - it helps to provide those so people know how the shot was taken & without that it would be guess work- would'nt it ?

are you at a zoo?or are you out in the wild learning the habits of the tiger and captured this? light changes so fast that your not helping.overall your idea is right,but even slight variations make a difference. if you want to instruct you must know the students.

Sam the photos are shot in wild - what would you reccomend so that I could do a better job next time. Thanks

"the photos are shot in wild" Must've been from the back of an elephant! I can't see any other way you could have gotten these with a Sony DSC H2 and live to tell the tale.

Vinod, Perhaps you should define "shot in the wild" before anyone can offer constructive advice.

That seems to be a problem, Bob...

"In the wild", to most of us entails a specific list of criteria: A) The animal has free will to appear (or not) and exhibit natural behavior within its own environs. B) The animal is not caged, confined, tethered or controlled by humans in any way. C) No food or other attractant was utilized to coerce the animal into shooting range. Given these parameters, photographs taken at wildlife preserves, National Parks and other protected venues where wildlife/humankind encounters are more frequent CAN be considered "in the wild". (...But only if the animal is free to leave whenever it wishes.)

"(...But only if the animal is free to leave whenever it wishes.)" OR "only if the animal is free to attack whenever it wishes"...

This is true! (Thankfully, the animals I normally seek out don't like Italian food. :)

Will- the shot was taken from inside the forest jeep ( how I wish I could have taken it from an elephants back - could have got some better photos ) Bob- the shot was taken in a South Indian Wildlife sanctuary - where the tiger was free to roam & as Will said free to attack ( reason why we had to coup up in a safari jeep) ;-)
