Si tu ajoute a se que j’ai écrit, oui, absolument. Si tu suggère que l’oiseau faisait du sur place dans ma photo, alors non, au contraire, il ne faisait pas du sur place. Il volait directement vers le trou! Avec les hirondelles, sa m’arrive par fois qu’ils fons du sur place – surtout s’il y a un ou une a l’intérieur du nichoir prêts a sortir.
Thanks for your message. First, you need two things: access to the birds, and second, observation and knowledge of their habits.
Then, taking the position of the sun into consideration (and/or flash), placing myself parallel to the side of the nesting box, and making sure my shutter speed is high enough and depth of field deep enough, I focus on the hole and move my lens off the box in front of the hole. I then take my eye off the eyepiece and wait for the bird. As it passes my lens, I take a burst shot of 2-4 pics.
With a bit of practice, I eventually get what I need, zooming in and out as required. Trust me, I have lots of pics of just heads or tails.
I use a monopod because of the flexibility it gives me in case the bird lands on the box, but a tripod is less tiring.
