Birding Photography Basics
There are many out in the world today who have always had a passion for photography. They are the ones who know the skill required to not just take a snapshot, but make it come alive. The game changes a bit and becomes much more difficult when there are moving elements like cars, wildlife, and people, therefore more skill is required. Bird photography has to be one of the hardest forms of photography known to artists, and takes a huge amount of skill. This piece will teach you the basic things required to help you get started with photographing birds, and soon you will be snapping works of art yourself.
One of the first things that is necessary in order to take pictures of birds is to know when and where to expect them. A field guide for your area may be an appropriate assistant for you, as it will tell you what birds to anticipate seeing in your area in given seasons. The next thing to do would be to study some well shot bird pictures, and notice the techniques used to take the photo. Notice details like the distance from the ground at which the photo was shot in relation to the bird, the lighting, the focus of the bird and the background, wing position, and the background colors. All of these play a part in giving the picture emotion and intimacy.
Personal preference is the main factor in what camera you should use, although high quality brands like Nikon or Canon are used by most. As with binoculars, there is an incredible difference between some $50 cheapo binoculars and some excellent quality $1000 Nikon binoculars. More expensive does not always mean better, but excellent quality cameras, lenses, and accessories will more than likely cost at least an arm. 100-400mm lenses are common amongst bird photographers, but those who are very serious about it may use a 500mm f/4 telephoto lens. Again, it is all personal preference.
One of the most vital things to keep in mind in any photography situation is the lighting. Mornings and evenings will give more favorable conditions and will compliment bird activity, as opposed to the over used noon time sun. Keep the number in mind also; the more leaves there are, the less light there will be, and less leaves means more light. Another way to increase picture quality is to get in close proximity to the birds you are attempting to photograph. Try to stay low and move slow, as this is a less hostile stance, and will provide a very intimate picture of birds on the ground.
You should be prepared even before you take the photograph, and always be aware of the background. Affix an appropriate lens and filter to your camera before you approach birds because sudden movements and reflections may frighten them. If the background is messy, it will take away from the bird in the photograph, so try and keep the background very distant or soft. Remember, there is a good chance that you will have to wait long periods of time to get a decent photograph opportunity, or you might not get any at all. Just plan ahead, come prepared, and be patient, and the rest will come over time.
