Bird Photography
Bird photography can be challenging. You need the right gear. A good camera and lens are key. Settings matter too. Fast shutter speeds help freeze motion. Learn how to adjust ISO and aperture. Techniques are important. Think about composition. Get close-ups. Try aerial shots. Capture birds in their habitat. Patience is needed. Birds move quickly. They can be hard to find.
