This Facebook Group Is Dedicated To Crappy Wildlife Photos That Are So Bad They’re Good (50 New Pics)
Forget everything you learned at that once-in-a-lifetime wildlife photography class. And if there’s not much to forget to begin with, I’m talking drawing a blank page. We are now entering the alternative National Geographic where no definition, missed focus, awkward poses, and a shaky frame are things to be proud of.
“Crap Wildlife Photography” is a community that celebrates all the failed attempts at catching a grand prix pic of nature. From an out-of-focus mantis and an eagle hidden by a lamppost to a blurred carpenter bee that resembles a coffee stain, the amazing photos are iconic in their own crappy way. A whopping 266K members and counting must be loving the safe space for remarkably low photography standards. And honestly, who wouldn’t?! Let’s take a look at the new batch of their crappiest wildlife photos, and if you just joined in, don’t forget to check out part 1 right here.

This is actually a fantastic photo. Shouldn't be in the crappy ones section.

I Spent Thousands Of Dollars And Several Days To Get A Chance To Photograph A Great White Shark. Here It Is
Crap Wildlife Photography is always a safe space to share failed attempts at capturing wild animals. But chances are, many of the entries were not meant to end up there. In fact, many have likely tried hard to take the pitch-perfect picture.
Animals in motion are particularly susceptible to becoming a crap wildlife photo. So if you still wanna try your luck next time, there’s a thing or two you should know about making it work. Most importantly, set the right camera settings before everything happens; find the right combination of aperture, shutter speed, and ISO.
If you often end up with blurry images, you probably haven’t “set fast shutter speed in order to freeze the animals during that right moment,” argues Julian Rad, wildlife photographer and contributor for Expert Photography. He also suggests ”taking images with an open aperture.” It allows a fast shutter speed.

Another very important thing is making sure your ISO settings are in place in order to achieve that good image quality. “Figure out your camera’s limits and experiment a bit with ISO,” says Julian. This is very important for the overall impression of your final image.
The reason for a blurry image is likely a camera shake. And a lack of sharpness ruins even the best photos. Consider using the image stabilizer, or turning on an image stabilization feature if your camera has one.

Opossums are great! They mind their own business and eat pests (ticks, slugs, spiders, you name it). We have a pregnant mama opossum living under our deck. She’s at least 2 feet long and probably 35 lbs. They can get to be the size of a medium dog.
Make sure you protect your cats, and/or small dogs.. Opossums can be vicious...

They can be vicious, they also kill poultry, adults, chicks and eggs!

We had a friendly one when I was growing up. She would let us pet her. Very soft fur. However, DO NOT try to make pets of them, they do not do well as a pet
Possums are the best; they will eat all the ticks that would normally get on your pets. Treat them kindly.
Yes, they eat all sorts of ticks, and they will also eat any small animals, or birds, adults, chicks and eggs...

Possums are wonderful little beings. They do no harm to anyone and eat bugs.
You don't know what you are talking about, Opossums will kill small animals, eg. cats, small dogs, and they love eggs (wild or domestic) birds, too! They do eat ticks, which is the only good thing about them!

O'possums. (The North American variety - not the Australian Possums, which are quite different).

You could adopt them and walk together with your dog, for example.. Something is telling me, this is one of the ways to get rid of your single status..)) guys would definitely pay attention!)) lol
"The opossum is the largest order of marsupials in the Western Hemisphere, and it is endemic to the Americas. In the United States and Canada, the only species found is the Virginia opossum, and it is generally referred to as a "possum"(not be confused with the suborder Phalangeriformes, which are arboreal marsupials in the Eastern Hemisphere)" Curious fact: "Many large opossums (Didelphini) are immune to the venom of rattlesnakes and pit vipers (Crotalinae) and regularly prey upon these snakes" (Wikipedia)
I sometimes think they have the sharpest teeth in the animal kingdom! And ohhhhh the aroma!
I bet you didn't have Ticks in your house, until you booted these guys out.
I have one living at home. It comes every night for dinner and stays the night. It's humongous! My cat also observes but never attacks. I find that interesting.
Opossums can easily kill cats and small dogs..true, they do eat ticks, but they can be very vicious. They will also kill any birds, adults, chicks and eggs...They are not indigenous to Canada. I wouldn't encourage it to keep coming back to your home.

We have some possums that come around. Adorable. I went out late one night to throw some trash in the bin, and startled one. It kind of quivered, and fell over "dead". Didn't get up for about a half hour 🙀 Poor thing
I wonder what you call a group of possums...... Google says they are called s "Passel"
Possum are great! They kill all kinds of bugs & spiders, too. Yeah - they may not be all that attractive, but they're actually way cool.
I think they see how you treat your pets and come in hoping to be adopted. They're really very sweet and they love to snack on the snails in your garden. They're good luck.
Love opossums.....we have a lot bere. Our cats leave them alone also....
Love possums!! They eat ticks and kill snakes. Maybe the guy with the brick climbing snake could use them?
At least you were smart enough to use oven mitts, they can bite like ^+*$, at least the cat n doggo new better.

Ineffective Means Of Deterrence
Haha, this reminds me when I was at the hospital in the outdoor garden. My daughter pointed out an owl high on one of the windows. I attempted to take a photo of it until a pigeon landed on it’s head and I realised it was a deterrant,

This was enjoyable. Some photos are not much more than standard bad and some are truly extraordinary masterpieces in their own right, and then there is every nuance in between.
I laughed so hard I had tears running down my face! My cats now think I've finally lost it for good.... !
People in 1980s : I bet people will get pics of UFOs and aliens by 2020............ People in 2020 : Look at this elephant scratching its nuts....LOL...
This is the funniest Bored Panda grouping yet. I enjoyed it so much I watched it twice. Just what I needed during our "stay at home" period.
Don't mind me. Just gathering up the hundred new meme templates I found.
I loved every photo 😍 you can spend a you can spend a lifetime trying to catch photos like this I know they're much more rare than an actual good photo
I don’t know why the group is called “Crappy Wildlife Photos”, because a lot of them are good and capture very funny actions.
These are hysterical and some are actually quite good! A shame to call them “crappy”. I would love some of these captures and have some of them. I love these!!
These were all happy accidents! You couldn't plan these pics for any price.
I laughed all the way through this. Some were majestic and some were not! Thank you for giving me something to think about other than you-know-what!
