A little cunning when photographing birds

in #destasteem7 years ago

On the way very often there are situations when the place is beautiful and interesting, but the light is not lucky. For example, you happen to get there at noon and like to take pictures, but because the bad light is too shallow and unattractive.

** In this case, the hero in the frame can help save the situation and take a picture of an interesting story. Such heroes can be human, some animals (seals, dogs, cows) or birds. No matter how you deal with pigeons and seagulls, they always turn on the plot and bring the speakers into the frame. **

Shooting

In short, if you want to relive the story - put a handful of crumbs in your pocket to lure pigeons.

** Well and furthermore technical affairs: **

  1. Set the camera in burst mode (it will be enough 6-8 frames per second).

  2. Resilience is selected according to the author's idea. If it is necessary that all birds are sharp, then we set the shutter speed to no more than 1/100 of a second.If you want the wings of the bird to be slightly oily, start from 1/40 of a second.

  3. More effective images will be obtained if you shoot a wide-angle lens from the bottom.

  1. You should be as close as possible to the bird. Take the desired position and wait until the dove becomes brave and take the desired position. And after that, ask someone to frighten them. Well, or you can throw pebbles at birds, but do not forget to press the shutter button when throwing.

5.The more duplicates with different bird positions you make, the more interesting the composition can be collected later.
