How to take pictures of birds?

The charm of wild animals is endless, and people need to explore constantly. Birds flying in the air are equally charming. Birds are common animals in our daily life. Of course, besides the most familiar swallows, pigeons, sparrows, geese and so on, there are some rare birds. You can only see them in their living environment, such as red-crowned cranes, swans and other precious birds. The most important thing to shoot birds is patience and perseverance, because birds are particularly easy to fly away in fear, and it is difficult to control and shoot.

When shooting, no matter what kind of birds are photographed, the first thing to do is to understand their habits and ecological environment, so that it is easier to capture some interesting and vivid shots when shooting. For example, before entering the nest, most birds will habitually stand in front of the bird's tender nest and look around, and will comb their feathers when resting. All these require careful observation and waiting by photographers.

Most birds, like wild animals, are very alert to humans, so it is difficult for people to photograph them up close. Therefore, when shooting birds, telephoto lens is an essential photographic equipment. Generally, when shooting, the lens that needs to be equipped is a telephoto lens with a focal length greater than 200 mm. For professional photographers who specialize in shooting birds, the focal length of the tip reaches 600mm, but this kind of lens is expensive and it is not recommended to buy it. Therefore, for photographers, the focal length of the lens can reach 200mm, and excellent photos can also be taken.
