Bird Photography - SMOOTH Backgrounds DEMONSTRATED In The Field - How To Get Blurry Backgrounds

Smooth Bird Photography backgrounds demonstrated in the field by Bird Photographer Duade Paton.

I explain the process of obtaining out of focus backgrounds in your bird images from start to finish.

I show what camera gear I use, settings and share numerous beautiful bird photos. I also share images that do not have smooth backgrounds and explain why.

Bird Photography is a challenging but rewarding pursuit and I hope these videos help you on your journey.

If you have any questions please leave them below and I will answer them.
Cheers, Duade
