Great bird photography tips. As a long time film photographer with a new DSLR, I reckon that I should treat the DSLR as digital instead of film (I turned off image review) and view the histogram. I just wish that I could afford those 500mm, 600mm, and 800mm.
I was riveted to your video on Birds In Flight, it was amazing the images that you captured.
I am starting out slow, since I retired a little over three years ago I have been noticing wild flowers that I have never seen before.
I don't know if it is because I relocated about 100 miles north of where I grew up or if it is because I have more time to notice what is around me.
I am looking for a market so I may make enough money to buy some better lenses, and I'm thinking of posting some pictures on line.
I noticed all of your slides had your logo or signature in the photo. What software do you do that with?
Who knows if I can make enough money maybe I can get some long enough lenses to share some avian shots with you.
Thank you for the experience I had with your video and for any help you may wish to share.
Many editing software options have the ability to add a signature/watermark to a photo, so this is something you might be able to do with the software you already use. I know many of my colleagues and friends just use Lightroom for this.
Thank you, this was very informative and what wonderful images!
AWESOME !! I am so inspired by your works !! THANK YOU so much for sharing your expertise.
Thank you! I enjoyed the presentation!
1) Are you using a tripod or monopod?
2) What about the deapth of field? Obviously a background out of focus is a plus but there are numerous cases where the eye of the bird is sharp and the legs are not, or there are more than one bird in the frame (one in focus but not all of them?
