Product Description

Digital Camera Buyer Magazine, July 2006
This book should be any aspiring bird photographer's bible. Stunning pictures and a wealth of expert advice.

Book Description
Ever wanted to take great bird photographs? Maybe you’re already a bird enthusiast who now wishes to capture them on camera. If so, digital photography is the way to go. Ease of use, immediate viewing and sharing of photos, plus the ability to alter your shots on your home computer makes digital photography the obvious choice for the aspiring bird photographer.
The Birdwatcher’s Guide to Digital Photography is a comprehensive guide that will help you to achieve the digital images you crave. Shooting birds in flight, in your back garden, from a hide, or in close-up – these are just a handful of the topics covered in this friendly, practical guide. The different types of digital camera, how you use them to obtain the best images, and how to manipulate them on your home computer are all covered. You will also discover how to bait birds, using food to entice them nearer to your camera, and also learn about the legal restrictions on photographing wild birds.
With so many different species of birds, each with their individual characteristics, birds are a delight to photograph. With this book, you’ll be able to take photos that really capture their beauty.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent and informative, 25 Sep 2006
By Richard S. Tadman (West Yorkshire, U.K.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is an excellent and compact little book for both the serious amateur and the novice. It contains a range of beautiful photographs of birds taken by David Tipling, but more importantly it is laid out in a clearly defined and logical sequence and takes you through the equipment you will need with an explanation of the terminology, the techniques to employ both in taking high quality digital images and the fieldcraft needed to access birds in their most desirable surroundings. Throughout the book the guidance is not too jargon-ridden or technical and should hold no fears for those either new to digital photography or transferring from conventional film.
The final section is devoted to the digital 'dark-room' and deals with what is possibly most daunting to newcomers - PC based post-processing. Again, the clear language and accompanying illustrations make the guidance easy to absorb and although I expect to be returning to this section fairly regularly before I become anything like proficient, the attraction of the book is that you can dip into it and absorb the lessons in bite sized chunks. Overall the book is comprehensive and compelling and makes you want to reach for your camera and try the techniques for yourself. Certainly one of the best books I've read on the subject.

5.0 out of 5 stars Everything you need to know and more., 14 Feb 2009
You are never to old to learn. I bought this book half expecting to be submerged in jargon and was very pleased to find that it was written with words the average snapper will understand. In fact the only really confusing bit for me was the foreword on Page 7. 'Written' by Chris Packham but adorned with a photo of some chap with a moustache and specs and carrying the signature of what looked like JK Galbraith? This is either a compositor error or some subtle joke that went over my head!
The book itself was a clear and quite concise guide in three sections, The Kit, the Birds and the Editing. References in the former sections to technical stuff were clearly cross referenced to the relevant bit in Section 3. I found this very helpful indeed as was the natural progression from one subject to another.
There is something in this little book for everyone, be they just taking their first tentative steps with a new hobby or already an established and accomplished photographer. The language was clear enough and apart from the strange Foreword the only thing that jarred was the occasional use of American nomenclature for certain European Species. But at least the author spelled 'Grey' correctly so he can be forgiven.
A great little book that deserves a place on everyone's shelf. Now I am off to find out what a Histogram is and why my camera has not got one!

4.0 out of 5 stars useful but not that much info, 17 May 2009
Lots of photographic books mostly seem to say the same thing:its all down to aperture,shutter speed, iso setting then composing
