Bird photography is one of the most popular genres of nature photography and it is also one off my biggest passion. Photographing birds is very interesting and challenging. You will need some special skills and equipment to capture attractive avian images.
Here is how I like to photograph birds:
Always focus on the nearest (to the viewer) eye of the bird. ...
Choose your backgrounds very carefully. ...
Be patient and wait for the bird to act naturally. ...
Use a blind (photo-hide) whenever possible - (pic below)
