Raptor Photography Tips: Capture Birds in Flight
📑 Article Contents
Photographing raptors in flight is challenging but rewarding. These tips help.
Camera Settings
Use shutter priority at 1/1600s or faster to freeze wingbeats. Continuous autofocus and burst mode capture the action.
Panning
Track the bird smoothly, leading it slightly, and fire in bursts as it crosses the sky.
Light and Background
Shoot with the sun behind you and a clean sky or foliage background to make the bird pop.
Choose gear with our Binoculars guide.
