Birds: Top 5 Photos of the Week (latest)
Birds are vertebrate animals adapted for flight. Many can also run, jump, swim, and dive. Some, like penguins, have lost the ability to fly but retained their wings. Birds are found worldwide and in all habitats.
In this article let’s first talk about How do you start bird photography? and then will share with you some amazing birds photos that we have featured from our Facebook group.
How do you start bird photography?
Bird photography, especially wild bird photography can be quite challenging. There are many articles on the Internet that cover everything from “bird photography tips” to “the art of bird photography”, But these are the tips that I often follow while photographing birds.
- Understand your subject: I have put this as the first above all else. This is because, when it comes to bird photography, if we do not understand our subject’s temperament we will end up with no subject at all.
- Don’t ignore common subjects
- Get close to your subject.
- Approach your subject with patience.
- Get to eye level.
- and the last thing wait for the action.
Bonus tip: Break the stereotypes and photograph whatever frame you want.
