A swallow flies over, how to capture a successful photo?

Swallows are not easy to shoot, especially those flying at high speed in the air. In order to successfully capture these small and extremely fast swallows, it is necessary to equip some photographic equipment and pay attention to some skills.

1. The equipment is different from other shooting subjects. We need to shoot at a long distance, so we need a telephoto lens. A lens with a focal length of 3mm to 5mm or even longer is ideal. Sometimes it takes a long time to shoot swallows, so you need a tripod and a cable release.

2. Capture the flying swallow. The camera exposure mode is changed to manual, the speed setting speed is above 1/1s, the iso level depends on the weather, and the focusing mode is af-c mode, which is set to high-speed continuous shooting mode, so as to lock the flying swallows, try to keep the focusing point in the swallows' eyes, and press the shutter during the chase.

3. crouching is a very useful way to shoot. We should first look for the swallow nest, observe the flight route of swallows feeding suckling swallows, set up a tripod, and install a cable release. The camera exposure mode should be changed to time priority, iso should be based on sunny and cloudy days, and the speed should be set above 1/1 second. The focusing mode should be af-c mode, and it should be set to high-speed continuous shooting mode, so as to lock the swallows feeding suckling swallows back and forth, and try to keep the focusing point near the swallow nest, and press cable release during the chase.
