Willet on Beach Loop at Allen's Pond

How to Photograph Birds

By Andy, Sunday, September 5, 2010

I came across this article on “How to Photograph Birds” by Nasim Mansurov. A step-by-step guide to bird photography.

Topics such as: Camera equipment, camera settings, locating birds, approaching birds, photographing birds, post-processing  and cropping,

This is very well written and one of the best articles I have read concerning this subject.
