Bird Photography Basics: Backyards & Beyond

Whether you’re traveling the world or spending time in your own backyard, bird photography offers many challenges and great rewards. Olympus Educator Rob Knight will show you how to make the most of your bird photography opportunities.

Rob will discuss autofocus settings and exposure modes for different bird photography scenarios. He will cover the basic skills you need to freeze the action and capture sharp photos. You will get a look inside Rob’s camera bag to find out what tools he uses to capture wildlife photos from his home “bird studio” to the rain forests of Costa Rica and beyond.

But there’s more to creating compelling bird photos than accurate autofocus – Rob will discuss creative techniques you can use to capture bird photos that are as interesting as they are technically proficient.
