(EN) BIRDS IN FLIGHT (+ FR, ES, PT, DE, PL)

WHAT WILL YOU FIND IN THE COURSE?

I worked on this video course for several months, and it contains my know-how built on 20 years of personal field experience. Capturing a bird in flight is a popular discipline. But making it work—so the image truly resonates—is not just about technique and camera settings. It’s a combination of many elements that must be connected together. That is exactly what my brand-new video course is about—the first time I dive deeply into a single subject. This is the opening chapter of a planned series Photographic Techniques by Petr Bambousek.

I know tutorials on photographing birds in flight already exist, and general information is easy to find online. In my course, however, I wanted to avoid repeating common “truths” about how to “properly” photograph birds in flight. Instead, I describe in detail my own system that I use in the field. Each chapter goes in depth, so photographers understand not only WHAT to do, but above all WHY and WHEN I set things up in a certain way to get the most out of each situation.
