Bird photography is a genre that has experienced a boom in popularity with advances in digital camera technology over the past decade. Focus tracking and lighter, sharper lenses have made capturing birds in flight and at a distance more accessible. High-resolution pixel capture has allowed us to get sharper images at a distance,
However, mastering bird photography is more than just capturing a technically sharp image or freezing a moving animal. Understanding behaviour, light, composition and how to use the environment to tell a story with your photography can take your bird images to another level.
Photography can be a valuable tool in raising awareness of conservation issues. Engaging the viewer and telling the story of the life of the birds you are photographing can help to add value to the life of your subject. Follow our tutorials and become a better bird photographer.
