In our lightweight bird photography we always:
- Use camouflage and recognise birds timely and try not to disturb them.
- Use exclusively high quality Nikon (compatible) lenses max. 1500 gram, preferably handheld.
- Mostly switch camera in our “APERTURE Mode Birds“: no camera reset during actual photography.
Enjoying the photographing of the unlikely beauty of birds, but also their behaviour and environment: flying, fighting, singing, displaying, mating, foraging, nesting, feeding their young:
