It has happened to you. Sure. You have seen a spectacular photo of a bird in a magazine and you have thought that you could not do it, because of course, you do not have the equipment, right? This happens because the first limitation is yourself or yourself. Don’t worry, it’s a common evil, we tend to tell ourselves many times that we can’t achieve something we want and we put up a lot of barriers that are usually more of our mind than something real.

A TV and your SLR are the ideal complement for the main tool you need: patience. Yes, yes, patience, but as a good lover of photography, surely you already have plenty of this, right? Here are also some tips that can come in handy. And then I leave you to enjoy some excellent bird photographsI hope they inspire you.
And if what you want is to go deeper into nature photography, this is our most complete guide, with tips, tricks and a lot of inspiration.

Natural frames usually work very well, look at these examples:

Who says a tele says another lens with a shorter focal length, but keep in mind that you must be able to get close!

Patience and quick shooting speed will give you images like this:

Inspiring, right? If they have made you want to capture birds, and not precisely in a cage, I will have achieved my goal for today.
These bird photos can be achieved without the need for professional equipment. You need patience, desire and birds 😉 Look for areas where you can find them, places where they are used to approaching when they are given food, the zoo or a bird park, for example. You may not get a great photo the first time, however, when you do, pride will swell your chest and you will think that any effort will have been worth it.
