How to photograph birds

Bird photographs are difficult to take. They move around in only a few seconds.

  • Get close enough to the bird
  • Use the longest lens you have
  • Use a teleconverter to extend the focal length
  • Try placing your prefocused camera on a ledge nearby where you expect the birds to come. Focus it, adjust the settings then leave it there. Watch from a far. When you think you have the perfect photo, use a remote control to trigger the shutter.
  • Combine a scope with your digital camera
  • Try to use a tripod to get sharper photos. If you're without a tripod, try resting the camera on a stable object.
  • Use Fast Shutter Speeds
  • Use Continous shooting mode
  • Please follow Code of Birding Ethics
