Digital Sports Photography – Birds of Prey
Posted by Simon Henry on Oct 5, 2010
Birds of prey are one of the most difficult subjects in digital sports photography, especially hawking as in a dive birds such as the Harris Hawk can reach speeds over 100mph. One thing I will recommend is don’t frame too tightly. Be flexible and crop after, you will get more usable photos that way and with todays high resolution SLR’s this is not a problem. also, be prepared to use a higher ISO than usual, you will need to have the fastest shutter speed but can’t have a hugely shallow depth of field or you will get a lot of blurred photos so the only option left is increase the ISO. I hope you get some decent photos if you come across any beautiful birds of prey and that you benefited from these digital sports photography tips.
