We learned about the jobs photographer and educate. There are many types of photographers. Wild life,zoos,marine life,wedding pictures,family pictures,etc. The one that talked to us was obviously a zoo photographer. There are a couple main points to making a good picture.
- make it look like the animal is in the wild,not in the zoo
- lighting
- animal is either looking at you,or doing something interesting
What I mean when I say bullet point number 1,is that there is no glass,wire mesh,or buildings in the background. The lighting is important because if it's in the afternoon the sun is blaring up there in the sky. That makes the picture look harsh. The most important thing in a animal,zoo animal,or marine life photographer is.....patience!!!!
Photographer
- education is not needed,but encouraged
- makes around 40,000 a year
- LOTS OF PATIENCE!!!!!!!!!!!:)
A educator,is usually the people who run/work a the summer camps,and/or educate the people about animals. They can work part time or full time.
Educator
- if you work at a big city zoo, you get about $40,000 a year,small city zoos $28,000 a year
- need at least a bachelors degree
- need to love kids!!!!!
You can volunteer to be a JCC(Junior camp consular) to get volunteer hours. It also looks good for collages,you have to bee 14 or older to start!
So what else did we do today? We got to pet an alligator! Now, I know what you might be thinking. One of my camp consulars,lets say Tom, knocking out a 18 foot long alligator,and somehow managing to tame it. We ,the campers, start petting it,or maybe even riding it!(cough overzealous readers cough cough) Well,no. We pet a- not- even- 1 year old baby alligator!
I'm not writing tomorrow,Were having a over-night at the zoo!
