Did I GET it? PHOTOGRAPHING small birds in FLIGHT || BIRD PHOTOGRAPHY tips and tricks
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 лют 2025
- Photographing small birds in flight is not easy. But hopefully I can share some tips and trick how I do it. The whinchat is a great bird, that I have photograph way back when I startet photography. But then I used a 200mm, without a photo blind. That did not work. When you do bird photography its a great tool to invest in a blind.

Awesome. Every Nikon group on FB is flooded with D500 fanatics, any time someone asks what camera to buy the comments are mostly D500, and most of the time they are just plain wrong…subjects where Nikon has a better alternative. But you just showed where the D500 does excel, those shots are incredible 🤘🏻
Thanks a lot Paul, for the kind compliemnt.
Awesome results, Trond! Great video 👍🏻 Wonderful archive images too 🙌🏻

Amazing shot Trond! What a beautiful bird to get in flight.

Thank you so much!
Hi Trond, a beautiful little bird. Great video, great images, great backing music....keep up the good work 👍🏻👏🏻.
Beautiful series of photos. Takes so much patience to walk away with quality images like that. Superb as always.
Thanks a lot Jamin! Much appreciated :)
Great photos Trond and very well captured. The Whinchat is a superb bird. I miss travelling over to Norway ever since the Newcastle to Bergen Fjordline ferry was cancelled. Always called at Stavanger on its way to Bergen. Some great birding on the Hardangervidda and no doubt good photographic opportunities. You live in a top, top country.
As always, and I mean always, you have the greatest photos.
wow.....your too kind to me Steve :) Thanks a lot!
Very impressive Trond. Little birds are so difficult to capture in flight. You had some great images. All the best to you. 👍
Lovely bit of video Trond I think my favourite still was the in flight shot where it had the green Caterpillar with the amazing backlite shining through its wings spread,,, Stunning...
Great technique and fabulous images Trond. Many congratulations and just reward for your preparation and patience
One of your very best videos! Great stills and video. The in- flight shots were perfect! OK, I have to get my camera and go out. Now.
Wow....thanks a lot Kevin! Grab your camera and go out....you will not regret 😉

👍😀 Thanks a lot Greg! Much appreciated...Your so kind to me :)
A big thank you 😊
You welcome! Thanks for watching
Bought a tent hide to photograph Ospreys, works perfectly well. One of the Ospreys landed 3 meters away from the hide. One of my goals this summer is to photograph kingfishers, hopefully the tent will be useful!
Hey Trond, I really enjoyed the video. You captured some great images of birds in flight! I have been trying to do the same but have not had any success but I’ll keep trying . Thanks for sharing!

Thanks a lot for the kind compliment!
Beautiful photos
Thank you so much!
Thank you for making this video
Great you liked it 😀
I never got as much out of my Nikon D500 as you Trond great work to get in focus flight shots. Best I managed was a Ringed plover in flight ! 👍😍
Its hard with flight shots, but with some practice you will eventually get it :)
great video and nice shots
Awesome man. Focusing on the twig at f/5.6, with a 1.4 extender, I can't help but wonder the level of sharpness on the bird's eye(s). Would have liked to see closeups of the bird's head to see exactly how sharp the eye(s) is. Perhaps a wired/wireless cable release will help to eliminate the possibility of any camera shake (the main cause of which would be excitement/nervousness)
Beautiful!
Thanks a lot!
Thanks for sharing... great pics...I have a D500 but not the 500mm lens... still learning photography so enjoyed your video... cheers 😀..
As always Trond beautiful shots! Just curious? U pre-focued on the stick right? So did u disable the auto focus somehow or did u switch the lens to manual focus?
use back button focus, then when pressing only the shutter button the lens does not re-focus.
Thanks a lot! I use back button focus :)
Aw! Very good thank u!!
Thank you. Great videos, nice to watch.
Beautiful shots Trond, thank you. Can I ask what binoculars you are using? Cheers.
Beautiful great job.
how do you do the white border
Using photoshop. I have a video on that in my playlist :)
사진 넘 멋지네요
Hva er det norske navn på denne fuglen?
Den heter vel buskskvett tror jeg :)
Buskskvett :)
Love how you also have $5000 or more worth of gear and still have to edit
Its a joy to go out and take a photograph and edit it. Its not about money its about passion and accomplishment. Please don't discourage who loves nature and that is his living source may be we all should appreciate that he is sharing that beautiful moments with us. Sorry if it hurts you.
Sorry Trond, but what kind of photoblind are you using?
A blind from tragopan company. Link in the description :)
@@trondwestby Thank you so much. I was thinking about it, but I wasn't sure. I've got one, but it's old and I'd like to buy your model, or maybe the model to stay lay down (I still need to decide). Thanks again. Bye!!
Translate indonesian my teacher..🙏
Sorry for name,Trond
thank the om camera gods for procapture
