Bird Photography.

It is often assumed that one needs many thousands of dollars worth of equipment in order to do bird photography well. At the very least, people believe they need a very expensive camera with a super long lens to have a decent chance at getting good results. In fact, even photographers with modest equipment have the chance to make great bird photos if they know enough about photography and particularly, how to photograph birds.I should be clear that I am not saying that expensive equipment does not help in bird photography. Instead, I am only saying that it is not necessary. The expensive equipment does give you benefits in conditions such as not being able to get close to the bird or poor lighting or flight shots. Inexpensive equipment will generally not produce good results in such conditions, so you are forced to limit what you attempt to shoot and when you attempt to shoot it. But there are still many great opportunities you can make with what you have, so drop that long-lens envy and go out and do what you can with what you have.Below is the example from my Olympus E410 mounted with Zuiko 70-300mm lens.I consider this cheap because E410 is my 6 years old camera(market price for used E410 is RM400) & Zuiko 70-300 lens (used item @ RM650)..yet i don't have to go far to shoot birds ,well just at my home backyard .....
