Wildlife of the <strong>World</strong> Birds of a Feather - On The Wing Of all the aspects involved with bird photography probably the most difficult to master is the capture of a bird in flight. The Eagle Has Not Landed by Tom Coetzee More often than not the bird is too far away to get any meaningful image. Most appear as black silhouettes against the sky. As for the former problem we can only recommend patience, a long lens and a steady hand. The latter problem is easier to resolve. When taking birds in flight or against a sky background, alter the camera settings to +3 the f-stop. African Fish Eagle by Gordon Longmead There are two good reasons for this, the first is that you stand more chance of capturing the ‘moment’ and the second is that the second and subsequent image in a series will have less camera shake. This is because you only press the shutter once so the camera only moves once. African Fish Eagle by Gordon Longmead This convinces the camera that the now over exposed picture is a correct exposure, and of course it probably is for the bird. Remember to alter the camera back for other pictures. It is also worth while setting the camera for repete shooting to catch the sequence of the flight. In Flight by Karim Ahmed Website = photosociety.net Page 20 email = magazine@photosociety.net
Some birds are easier to photograph in flight than others. One not so easy subject is the Peregrine Falcon in a 180mph dive. Others twist and turn so mush that keeping them in frame is the problem. Sunbird approaching nest was shot at Nunmanglam reserve Forest by Nam Prasad Satsangi But patience and perseverance will be rewarded. I suppose the easiest time to catch the birds on the wing, is as they come to land or as in the image above, need to hover to feed their young. This is the time when they are moving at their slowest. Positioning is always a bonus and the right position can create stunning results.
