My persnol pigeon photography
  • You will definitely have to set up your camera to shoot fast no mater of the lighting conditions.
  • You might also want to have the camera shooting more frames one after the other.
  • Your camera focus mode should be continuous (like in sports photography, for examples).
  • Adjust your camera settings. You will certainly want to use continuous focus (AF-C on a Nikon, or AI Servo on a Canon), select the proper focus point (I usually use the center point or dynamic autofocus), a sharp aperture, and a fast shutter speed somewhere around 1/1200th of a second.
  • Shoot away from the sun. Usually backlit birds will not be as nice-looking as front-lit birds.  Simply planning to stand in the correct spot will significantly improve the quality of your images.
  • Don't skimp on depth-of-field. Beginning birds in flight shooters often use the lowest aperture they have available to get a high shutter speed.  While a high shutter speed is certainly important, skimping on aperture is not the answer.  Many birds have a large wingspan, and a low aperture will often put the wing tips out of focus.  If you need more light to increase your shutter speed, use a higher ISO.
