Photographing Birds, Part 1: Equipment


Brown pelicans share the pier with onlookers

How do you know what lens and distance are appropriate? Simple. Look through the lens. If the subject in question looks like a pinhead, forget it. Increase your lens size or get closer to the subject. If your subject is sitting in the middle of a lake, and you don’t have a boat or can’t walk on water, you’re going to need a bigger lens. If you don’t have a bigger lens, my suggestion would be not to shoot the picture. Save your film for a better subject.
