Kan jeg tage billeder med et fugleobjektiv? Principper for valg af brændvidder til objektiver til fuglefotografering

1.Can I take photos with a bird-shooting lens?

Bird shooting lenses are specially designed to capture the details of birds and other wildlife at longer distances. Therefore, the bird shooting lens can be used for taking pictures. It is actually a lens with a longer focal length, characterized by high magnification capability and a large maximum aperture.

2.What are the principles for choosing the focal length of a bird-shooting lens?

For bird shooting lenses, choosing the appropriate focal length depends on the distance you plan to shoot, the subject, and environmental factors. Different shooting distances have different requirements for selecting the focal length. Take a look at the following guidelines:

Closer distance shooting

For closer distances, say between 10m and 100m, you can choose a focal length between 70mm and 200mm. These focal lengths still provide a certain magnification effect and allow you to get closer to the subject.

Medium distance shooting

If you plan to shoot at medium to long distances, such as 100 to 500 meters, you can consider choosing a focal length between 200mm and 400mm. These focal lengths can provide enough magnification to help capture distant details.

Longer distance shooting

If you plan to shoot at a longer distance, such as shooting at a distance of 500 meters or more, you may need to choose a focal length between 500mm and 800mm or longer. This focal length range allows you to get clear images at a longer distance.

Note: 

If you are new to wildlife photography, you can choose a shorter focal length first, and then gradually transition to a longer focal length after you become proficient. It should be noted that a longer focal length lens also means that the lens is heavier, more expensive, and requires more stability support.
