Mastering Bird Photography: The Art, Craft, and Technique of Photographing Bir

This is a wonderful book. If you’re interested in photographing birds using the extraordinary features of modern cameras, this is a clear, in-depth explanation of the choices to make in camera setups for best results.

Fue un regalo y a la persona le gustó mucho

I've only started taking photographs of birds but I've been involved in photography for the last 20 years and I have read dozens of books on different photography subjects (it's my second book on birds). I was looking for a good book to get me started and inspired but I really wasn't looking for a book about the basics of photography and unfortunately many books dwell too much on the basics before getting to the nitty gritty. Not this one. It gets right into the subject matter with good detailed writing and comprehensive examples. Equipment, exposure, composition, panning, post processing workflow and creating a backyard setup. It's all here. I KNOW this book will take my bird photography to another level. It's thick and the information is dense and easy to understand. Most importantly, the photographs are excellent and some are downright stunning. Kudos to the writer for giving the technical details of each photograph (shutter speed, F stop, ISO, lens used, with tripod or not, with TC or not). I find this rare in so many books yet it's very useful for learning what to use and when. Very inspirational stuff. I would suggest any photography newbie to at least get the basics down before diving into this book. Learn how ISO, aperture and shutter speed are related and what they each do. Learn how the auto focus on your camera works as well. This will allow you to understand the specific details of how each picture was taken and enable you to do the same.

It was a bit too basic for me, maybe I had too high expectations? Some chapters are outdated fx about equipment, focusing (who uses DSLR nowadays?), should be updated or just left out. In short a bit of disappointment.

It's the very best book in photography I have evet read. It's a magnificent book over bird photography and not only that. I believe that there is no other book out there with such content quality and with such a fidelity in publishing.
