Birds are some of the fastest creatures, so photographing them is very difficult. You can spend more than one hour, or maybe several days, waiting for a successful shot. Therefore, patience and the ability to wait, as well as the following tips, can become your faithful helpers in this matter.
Instructions
Step 1
The best time to shoot is early morning or evening. It is during these hours, when there is no bright sun, that the picture can turn out to be quite successful.
Step 2
When photo hunting for birds, be quiet and try not to make noise - do not make loud and harsh sounds, look under your feet so as not to step on branches. Do not in any way disrupt the habitual way of life of the birds. Also, do not run after the bird - this will rather scare it than take a good picture. Never try to photograph birds while they are in their nest. By doing this, you can scare them and harm them. Either way, skip filming if the bird is showing any sign of anxiety.
Step 3
Don't dress too brightly. Your clothes should be in natural colors. This way you can not stand out too much in the terrain.
Step 4
First, just watch the birds, study their habits. Since most birds have the same route from several points, it is easy to find these places. Walk along this route, observe. After a while, the birds will get used to you, and you will be able to get quite close to them.
Step 5
Various hiding places can be used for filming. It is from a secluded place that you can not disturb the birds, which will be only a few meters away. Although it will take a lot of patience from you, the result can exceed all expectations.
Step 6
Learn to master photography equipment perfectly. Learn to choose the right shooting modes for your conditions. It is also important to be able to switch the camera to manual mode and vice versa. All these skills and abilities will help you make a beautiful and interesting photo session.
Step 7
The more you photograph, the better you will get. It is in practice that you have to hone your craft. You should not go straight into forests and swamps in search of good pictures. Better to start by filming at a feeder, which you can place near your window. And only then go hiking.
