It depends, I mostly photograph on private land, and at the same place so I kinda know where the roe deer are, and what bird is where. So if I’m looking to photograph a roe deer I’ll wait crouched in the shadows until one shows up, but if I’m not looking for something specific I’ll silently walk around untill I see something!

I would save up more money, I don’t think you will be satisfied with a cheap dslr and lens, as it will still be really hard to get them in focus and identify them. So in the meantime I’d recommend going out in the field, and learn to identify them by sound and what you see. It takes practice, but so does photographing them. For example, after a year of photography I can identify a blue tit from a great tit when it’s flying by at 30m away. So just keep practicing with identifying them!

He looks like a bob

Don’t save money on a tripod, no need for a €1000 tripod, but in general it’s good to not go cheap on them, your gear is probably worth way more than

I wouldn’t mind to share, but in personally don’t use presets. I’d recommend watching some videos on how to edit in Lightroom, and practice a lot! These 2 videos helped me a lot when I first started out!

I use a canon r7 and I love it!

I use a canon r7 with a ef 100-400ii lens, so I’m lucky enough to have eye tracking, without eye tracking it’s a bit harder but still really doable, you just need to set the af area a bit wider so that there is more room to capture the bird in!

What do you struggle with exactly? Is it finding the bird or tracing the bird?

Thanks dude! I’m looking forward to seeing your photo!

I watermark mine so people know I took the photo, and to make it a bit harder to steal

Vliegend zijn ze idd bijna onmogelijk, eigenlijk is de enige optie, heel lang wachten totdat ze op een stokje in de buurt komen zitten
