Birds in Motion

Speed on! 🦅 This Wildlife Mission is about showing birds mid-flight... whether you go slow to capture the speed or freeze things pin sharp, let's see it! How can you use editing to push that feeling of motion? 🐾 Mission Tips: 🎯 Track with your lens. Follow the bird smoothly before, during, and after the shot ⚡ Use fast shutter speeds to keep things sharp. 1/1000s minimum for most birds, faster for hummingbirds 📐 Catch birds with wings up or extended. Avoid the awkward wing positions mid-flap 🌫️ Use continuous autofocus mode and experiment with back-button focus for better tracking 📍 Position yourself where birds naturally fly... along shorelines or between feeding areas 💬 Which bird gave you the biggest challenge to track and photograph?
