ROSHAN MORE
| Passion For Wildlife
Roshan More, born in 1986, is a Wildlife Photographer based in Mumbai, India, specializing in all forms of African and Indian Wildlife, from the Savannah to the Deserts, from the Swamps to the Mountains and everywhere in between.
Roshan’s images are created from his overwhelming love and passion for Wildlife and nature, for being outdoors with his cameras in tow.
His photography passion began as a young boy with binoculars swaying from his shoulder and a Wildlife informative book wedged into his backpack.
All the focus and subjects from the Wildlife are strictly in Roshan’s passion and refuses to photograph any subjects that are Pets or are confined to Zoos. His work is authentic, and his message is, “Be in fashion with Mother Nature.”
Roshan also has a passion for educating the people by conducting photography seminars, indoor as well as outdoors on techniques of photography and also to raise the awareness and change minds about not only the extrinsic beauty of nature and animals but also their intrinsic worth.
General Techniques while shooting Wildlife
A. Single Point Autofocus: – This single point autofocus points play an essential role in the clarity of an image. The single point autofocus point was placed, or we can say the focus was locked straight away in the eye of the subject (Animal or Bird) from achieving the sharp image.
B. Back Button Focusing: Back button focus is a shooting technique that separates the normal function of the shutter release — focusing and shooting — into their own individual controls. Back button focusing isn’t about getting sharper shots (though it can prevent focusing errors), it’s about efficiency.
It’s about seamlessly swapping focus modes. It’s nearly effortlessly locking the focus.
C. Equipment Used: Camera – 7D Mark II CANON Lens – Sigma 60mm-600mm Sports F 4.5-6.3 OS
D. Support system: I specifically use the Benro Gimbal head GH2 clamped on the Manfrotto Super Clamp on the safari vehicle, as to obtain the sharpest images.
Bean bags for the camera should be kept handy and has to be filled either with rice or with any other grains, either EPP or EPS fillers or any other beads, to achieve maximum stability and more vibration absorption.
E. Rule of Thirds: For the composition of the images while shooting or post-processing, I strongly use this Rule of Thirds. In photography, the rule of thirds is a type of composition in which an image is divided evenly into thirds, both horizontally and vertically, and the subject of the image is placed at the intersection of those dividing lines, or along one of the lines itself.
