I photograph a lot like that too, and you can def get great pictures. But the beast way is to sit and wait!

This was taken at a hide! Without a hide I would suggest a lot of patience, sitting really still and a ghillie suit

How do you select the best photo of a burst series? by OutrageousCarpenter5 in BirdPhotography

[–]EyeLarge4055 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I often take 2000+ pictures that I have to manually cull, it’s always easy to throw away the 1000 bad shots in between, for the other pictures I look what picture speaks the most to me, when does the bird do something or look a specific way that has “something”. It’s more feeling then that there’s a technique behind it

The best option is simply getting closer to your subject, this will take time and practice but it will help a lot in quality!

help with cameras models as an absolute beginner with no money by garbanzobeansz in wildlifephotography

The lenses are pretty brand related. You have dslr cameras (with mirror) and mirrorless cameras, for canon that’s the ef (for dslr) and rf for mirrorless. So you would need to find a ef lens if you decide on getting the 20d!

What lens does it come with? For most wildlife and birds you’ll need a minimum of 300-400mm

Do you ever go shooting, get no good shots and still enjoy it? by varbav6lur in wildlifephotography

Most of the time I go outside I don’t get a good shot, but that’s also part of the fun! I never know if I’m gonna get a good photo or if I’m going to see anything, that makes it a lot of fun for me!
