Bird photography skills

1. First of all, we need to know which birds are near our residence, which places are suitable for shooting, and how to disguise when shooting birds.

2. The most direct way is to inquire about the local bird distribution and living habits through the Internet. You can also consult local birdwatching clubs, birdwatching associations, photography associations and other photographers to exchange birdwatching experiences. We need to know the theme so that we can shoot birds and make works.

When we know the distribution of local birds, we will shoot them. Find a good shooting location, the environment should be beautiful, hidden enough and as high as possible. When shooting birds, blending the birds with the background will make the picture look better.

Shooting birds needs simple camouflage, otherwise the birds will be frightened and fly away. It is recommended to wear military green camouflage clothes. Don't wear bright or bright clothes. Wait quietly when shooting, don't move around frequently, and be patient.

5. Bird-shooting equipment is very important. The requirements for cameras are not high. Entry-level SLR camera can shoot birds. The difference between entry-level cameras and high-end cameras lies in image quality, focusing effect and high-speed continuous shooting.

6. The most critical equipment is the lens. The best lens for shooting birds is more than 300mm, which can be fixed focus or zoom. Birds are very alert and can't shoot too close, which limits the shooting of mobile phones, SLR cameras and other equipment, so a telephoto lens with a focal length of more than 300mm is a necessary choice.

7. Shooting birds, recommend shutter priority shooting mode. You only need to set the required shutter parameters, and you don't need to be distracted to control the aperture and sensitivity. The shooting process is simpler and more convenient. The recommended range of ISO is 100~ 1600. You can set ISO to automatic and adjust the automatic range to 100~ 1600.

8. First of all, the birds we photographed are relatively small in the picture. It is suggested to choose spot metering or central key average metering to measure the light of the picture to ensure the accurate exposure of the subject. Then choose continuous shooting to ensure that you won't miss the wonderful moment of the bird; Finally, adjust the shutter speed according to the flight speed of birds, which is generally 1/500 seconds ~ 1/2000 seconds.

9. Secondly, when the birds we photographed occupy the whole picture. It is suggested to choose center key average measurement or evaluation measurement; Also set the continuous shooting and shutter speed 1/500 seconds to 1/2000 seconds to shoot.

10 Then, the bird we photographed was flying. Shooting birds in flight requires us to constantly move the lens to take pictures, which is slightly more difficult. It is suggested to choose servo autofocus and high-speed continuous shooting, and the shutter speed should be set to11000s ~1/2000s.

1 1. Finally, when the birds we photographed are resting. When the birds are resting on the branches, it is a good time for us to shoot. It is recommended to select single autofocus, high-speed continuous shooting and shutter speed from 1/500 seconds to11000 seconds.
