Migrating Birds: Photo Tips


Spring marks the time when many birds migrate to their summer homes, and this annual event is an opportunity for bird lovers to witness-and capture--this intriguing behavior. You’ll want the steady support of a quality tripod (we have several options here: www.FortWorthCamera.com/tripods) When photographing birds in motion. You’ll also want to choose the longest lens you have and shoot in continuous AF mode when the birds are in flight.

Photographing migrating birds is a skill that does require practice and patience; don’t get discouraged if you don’t get a stellar shot on your first attempt. Consider this experience another step in expanding your skills and becoming a more versatile photographer.
