Here's a quick tips to improve your birdy shots. Try to shoot the birds while blending it naturally with the environment. It actually applies to shooting any wildlife animals.

QUOTE(sniper on the roof @ Feb 27 2011, 03:24 AM) Can I also add (though the closest thing to birds I've shot are chickens.. cooked ones) that its nicer to see the whole bird instead of just bird face "portraits"? Second that, too many repetitive close up shots will make your shots boring. Try to take some whole bird shots.  my noob cent.  QUOTE(fruitie @ Feb 27 2011, 09:25 AM) Nice shot there VK... Agreed with your tips, but then if only not all birds are caged... Thanks. Walk around and hunt for those not inside the cage one then.   QUOTE(onijoseph @ Feb 27 2011, 10:35 AM) personally, if u can get the bird in action (flying, eating, playing etc), u will have more unique poses rather then the bird is stationary. Good point. Try panning flying birds rather than boring stationary pose shot. Here's a sample of my very first bird panning shot though not that successful.

QUOTE(goldfries @ Feb 28 2011, 02:50 AM) believe it or not - many of them actually did try! Shooting wildlife needs lotsa patience. I'm lack of it we were on the bridge waiting for subject(s) to shoot but just couldn't get decent shots. myself, kytz, zhengyang, deodorant and a few others were on the bridge there just waiting for birds to come.  QUOTE(goldfries @ Feb 28 2011, 02:50 AM) btw viking, that shot is actually nice also mah. didn't freeze the wing but it gives a different feel with the motion blur which I think is nice in it's own way. where was that taken? Jurong Bird Park ah? Taken at our lauya National Zoo 2 years ago. |
