Description

:phew: Took me a while but I got there in the end.

Hope someone finds this helpful.
If you've found this useful and have used any of this information for bird photography, I'd really love to seem them!

This tutorial could be adapted for mostly any animal photography too.

Rest of the images used belong to me.

Edit: Awh a DD! Thank you =eldris and `Hanratty-Stock :heart:


Note:
Some people asked what equpiment I use;

Camera
Nikon D80

Lenses
70-300mm Macro Lens F4-5.6
&
18-135mm 3.5-5.6

I barely use a tripod mainly because I just don't get on with them, maybe it's because I only have a cheapy one. I only use a tripod when taking photographs of scenery. So it's mostly point and shoot, or lean up against something for steadyness!
