How to shoot birds

Birds are singing and flowers are fragrant, flowers are easy to shoot, and we are still the same. All kinds of birds make us feel at a loss, but birds can generally fly and are very agile. Without certain dynamic shooting skills, it is difficult to shoot the most beautiful moments. Usually, the captured photos are more attractive and attractive. In the process of shooting birds, their movements are generally very agile, which increases the difficulty of catching them. General capture can be considered from several aspects: take-off, dive, capture, skimming, charging and returning. Where did the birds adapt? What modal expression will there be after falling? What are the signs before it flies away, what is the general route when it flies away, and what kind of works are suitable for such a scene. Take the bird taking off as an example, try to get close to the target, aim the camera at the bird that landed on the tree, press the shutter, and predict the moving picture of the bird in the airspace. The bird's flight is a relatively constant linear motion, and the camera's focus-chasing motion can only be an arc motion, so the time period when it can really keep parallel synchronization with the flying object is very limited. Focus on the birds resting on the branches, build a picture and wait. When it moves, it will press the shutter, OK, and its posture is mostly good. Another important aspect of bird shooting is the choice of equipment, and telephoto lens is an ideal lens. It is best to use a lens of about 300mm to photograph the flight state of birds. This way, the theme will not be too small, and it is easy to capture, because if the lens is too big, the bird will be out of the box as soon as it flashes, and it is basically impossible to shoot, and the camera is behind it. Continuous shooting's high-speed camera is easy to take good dynamic photos. The key is to grasp the shooting time and shooting mode, that is, the selection and control of shutter timing, rather than relying on equipment blindly. Using technology and relying on technology are completely different, and it is very important to realize this for photography creation rather than playing photography. In addition, pay attention to choose a good shooting location. Lakeside and seaside, Woods and reservoirs are places where birds often haunt.
