I I discovered birds during Covid, when I wanted to escape the confines of my own home and explore the outdoors in peace, alone with my camera and nature. Photographing birds requires patience, keen observation, and an understanding of their behavior and habitats. Using a telephoto lens helps capture details without disturbing them, while fast shutter speeds freeze motion in flight. Early mornings often provide the best natural light and active bird activity. Successful bird photography balances technical skill with respect for wildlife, creating images that showcase the beauty and diversity of avian life.
