Birds are fascinating creatures with intricate feathers, unique songs, and graceful movements.
As a photographer, capturing these beautiful creatures in their natural habitat can be a rewarding experience.
However, photographing birds can also be a challenging endeavor.
Birds are wild animals, they don’t take direction so you have to pay attention and be ready to press the shutter button at the right moment.
This means you have to understand the camera settings and be able to quickly adjust shutter speed, light sensitivity (ISO), and aperture to get the shot.
Birds tend to move around a lot, and quickly.
So having the right shutter speed is highly important.
Some days are brighter than others, so you have to get the ISO right to avoid images being too dark or blown out from too much light.
The aperture controls the depth of field and the sharpness of the image.
Knowing how each of these settings affects the others is the key.
Anytime you change one part of the exposure triangle (IOS, Aperture, Shutter Speed), you affect the other two.
Getting them all in harmony will give you the shot you’re looking for.
