Quick Tip: Better Bird Portraits with a Clean Background

A distracting background can ruin an otherwise great bird portrait. Many photographers focus solely on the bird and overlook branches or other visual clutter.

Pay close attention to the background before you press the shutter. Choose a simple, uncluttered setting or use a wide aperture (e.g., f/4 – f/5.6) to create a soft bokeh effect. This helps the bird stand out beautifully.

Servus zusammen,

mein Name ist Markus und seit 2014 widme ich mich der Video- & Fotografie von Naturmotiven. Diese Leidenschaft begann während meiner zahlreichen Reisen durch Japan - von Hokkaido im Norden bis hinunter nach Okinawa im Süden. Diese Erfahrungen haben mich wieder stärker mit der Natur verbunden und auch die WildeNatur vor meiner eigenen Haustür entdecken lassen.
