How to shoot birds and what skills are there?

When shooting birds, the shutter speed must be controlled. Only by ensuring the shutter speed can we capture the wonderful moments of bird movement and make the photos have a strong visual impact.

Birds is a special subject, which is thought to be characterized by rapid movement. Compared with static time, when they fly or play in the sky, although it is very difficult to shoot, their dynamic effects can bring more rendering power to the picture. So when shooting, we should choose to use shutter priority mode to capture their dynamic moments.

The choice of shutter speed needs to be decided according to the photographer's own shooting intention, or according to the expression of the image. If you want to get the static effect of a moving bird, that is, take a still picture, the shutter speed is generally higher than 1/2000 seconds, and adjust the aperture according to the state of the bird being photographed.

On the contrary, if you want to capture the dynamic effects of birds, such as the rapid flapping of birds' wings, the shooting speed is usually lower than 1/2000 seconds. When shooting for a hundred days, it is easy to overexpose the picture because of the low shutter speed. In order to avoid this situation, it is best to narrow the aperture properly when shooting.

Introduction to bird shooting skills

Shoot birds.

A bird flies freely in the sky, capturing the flight dynamics with a telephoto lens and a high-speed shutter, showing a free and pleasant artistic conception.

High-speed photography of birds' predation moment

Capture the moment when birds prey with telephoto lens. The background of the picture is simple, which highlights the state of the bird at this time. At the same time, the morphological characteristics of birds and the texture of fur are well displayed, and the flapping fuzzy wings add movement to the picture.

Capture the movement of birds.

Birds flying in mid-air have blurred their wings due to rapid flapping, showing the flying posture of birds and adding movement to the picture.

High-speed photography of the splash of birds.

Birds fly on the calm water, and the water splashes layer by layer. The birds' furry wings increase the movement and interest of the picture.
