Planet Zoo 2 Photo Mode Tips
Here are some additional tips to help you get the best from Planet Zoo 2’s Photo Mode.
Find The Right Spot
Before you start messing with advanced options, establishing the perfect shot is crucial, and this involves finding the ideal location, alongside adjusting the pitch and roll to enhance the photos you take.
Much like an animal photographer in the real world, you may need to wait to capture the perfect shot, and patience is a virtue.
Focus On Interaction
While the animals in Planet Zoo 2 look good from every angle, one of the best ways to capture the perfect shot is to identify an interactable object and wait for the right moment to take a snap.
Animal enrichment items and climbing objects are a solid bet, but you can also get great pictures from more basic approaches, like waiting near water.
Use Filters
Your work doesn’t necessarily end when you’ve snapped a photo, as there is additional editing you can make to enhance the picture.
This includes adjusting the saturation, exposure and contrast, alongside the near and far focus distance, which can help to make the animal starring in the photo really pop.
