Does it cost a lot of money to shoot birds? Is ordinary equipment ok?

In fact, with the development of technology, especially the maturity and popularization of digital SLR cameras after 2000, equipment has become cheaper and more powerful. When it comes to nature photography, especially shooting wild animals, including birds, the only threshold is the need for a super telephoto lens of 400-600mm; Although the original fixed focus 400f2.8, 500F4 and 600mmf4 are still expensive and bulky, it is not difficult to realize low-cost equipment that can achieve the quality of works.

For example, the most basic configuration is to choose a digital SLR camera in aps-c format. Now the budget is within 3000-8000, and the professional zoom lens with a focal length of 400mm or the popular 150-600mm lens is about 9000- 13000. Then the actual set of basic equipment is within1.5,000-20,000 RMB. Once the technology is properly used, it can produce very professional image quality.

This kind of users have high requirements for image quality. In order to get better and more shooting results, objectively, we need a variety of equipment:

For photography lovers, I think if the work can achieve value (realization) and break even, it is not blind burning; If it can't be realized, you can have money, but if the economy doesn't allow it, don't blindly buy high-tech equipment. It's better to be rational.

Second, professional collectors or local tyrants?

Let's not talk about this. It's good to be rich and happy:

What is expensive to buy, regardless of willfulness or rationality;

Third, ordinary families or amateurs.

There is no such high requirement for image quality, just enough. Some people never take off their lenses or change them. Mid-range fuselage+large focal length lens is enough;

In terms of price, the general demand is around 10 thousand. If there is a certain demand, it is almost the same as the full entry plus 2470, 16.7 thousand.

First of all, we should master various functions in the camera, especially the combination of focusing, tracking, continuous shooting photometry and other functions. Second, be calm and have enough patience. Third, the investment in cameras and lenses should be based on the economic situation. 24-600mm can be equipped with a Quan Huafu body 150-600mm lens and a Sony RX 10 fourth-generation digital camera. Between 20,000 yuan and 40,000 yuan, 800 sets, 600 sets and 400 sets of lenses can be matched. The most important operation rule of the fourth kind of bird shooting is pre-judging shooting, which is an important means to shoot the flying version. The so-called pre-judgment mode is to shoot the fallen branch bird, first aim at the position where the bird often falls, and then press the continuous shooting at the moment when the bird falls, so that the bird will be fixed in the air for the fifth time. The wool version must be really focused, preferably on the bird's eye. If the bird's eyes are not clear

If you are a beginner, Canon 7D2+ Sigma 150-600 mm F5-6.3 DG OSHSM | Contemporary (budget 1W5 or so) will do. This is the combination I am using at present.

If the money is not bad+strong body+big film, throw the professional lens and fuselage directly on 10W.

Don't shoot birds with C frames. Use a high sense when shooting a flying board, otherwise it is either noisy or unreal. I'll just use 77D, and it's not enough to upgrade now. Think about waiting for 6D3.

What you said was just a boring bird. What you really need is a photo with the best quality, that is, it needs to be super long and fixed focus. Although the surface needs the best dynamics, it is actually the most exciting challenge moment, and getting a penny is by no means just talking nonsense.

Nothing can be said. Shooting birds still depends on the equipment. A penny for a penny, expensive equipment naturally has its reasons.

It doesn't cost a lot of money. If you go to Neptune Nine Island in Zhuanghe, Liaoning, the seabirds there are not afraid of people, and they are by your side. You can take a normal shot. But if the birds you shoot are afraid of people, you can also be in a camouflage tent in advance, only showing the camera. So you don't need a long lens.

Just buy a folding lens, practice more and shoot birds like manual folding.
