Going to the park for a run is best in the early morning or evening. In the early morning and evening, there are many bird watching enthusiasts in Century Park, waiting by the lake of Fenghe Bridge with their cameras ready for the moment when the birds are hunting, capturing the natural and lively images of the birds. Looking at the focused expressions of the photographers, although I don't have professional photography equipment like them, I have my phone with me every day. Although I can't capture the most dynamic side of the birds taking off, I can capture the moment when the photographers are focused and engaged. Salute to the photographers! 📷There are two main elements to photographing birds: light and enough patience are the two main elements to capture the dynamic sense and feather layering of birds. 📷The best time to photograph birds is in the early morning and evening, especially between 6:00 and 8:00 in the morning. The light is softer at this time, which is more suitable for bird photography. The birds are just waking up and are more active, making it easier to capture dynamic images of the birds. Soft light can avoid large shadows when shooting bird details. 📷In the evening, birds need to store energy before going to sleep, so they are also particularly active in the evening. During these two periods, it is easiest to capture the dynamic images of these cute birds. 📷The trajectory of a bird's movement is actually quite difficult to predict. To capture the most dynamic side of a bird taking off, you need to wait patiently for a long time, and you need to set the shooting mode to continuous shooting in advance, which can better guarantee the shooting effect. 📌Small Tips: The Fenghe Bridge in Century Park is also the best place to watch lotus flowers. In the early morning, you can capture the process of lotus flowers slowly opening. This also requires enough patience. In the early morning, it takes about an hour for a lotus flower to fully open from being closed.
