Bird photography

Wow, it has been really quite a while since i last posted. Hehe. I am into a new type of photography recently! Guess what is it???

I never knew i will really go into this area of photography cos

• It requires a great amount of time to wake up early in the morning
  


• Under the sun for several hours



• Expensive lens to give you the highest quality images
  

ABle to guess what is it? Its BIRD photography!

For this kind of photography, you will need the following:

• A dslr (haha, needless to say) (one which has about 5fps should be suffice for most needs)



• A telephoto lens (get as long a focal length as you can afford) (300mm is a minimum)



• A flash extender (to be mounted to your flash light to extend the flash coverage distance)



• A sturdy tripod with a Wimberly head or sidekick (at such long focal length, any movement will result in camera shake and blurry images) (Wimberly head / sidekick is for panning and tilting)



• Lots of memory cards! (believe me, there is only 1 chance to get that perfect shot, keep shooting!)
  
  

Here are some of the shots. Enjoy!
