Why you need sky detail in a bird in flight photograph!

Photographing birds in flight is not an easy task. You first need to find the bird and hoping it is flying. Then you need to aim you big lens. And the most difficult thing is: what should my exposure be.

In my opinion you always should shoot for retaining detail in the sky. Sometimes you need a clear background in a shot but that should be a blue background. White does not gives the bird full potential.

 My Tips for getting better sky is a bird in flight photograph:

• underexpose the bird by 1/3 to 2/3 of a stop.
• shoot in light that's not to bright.
• early in the morning/evening.
• always point your shadow to the bird.
• this means the bird and the sky are being lit by the same light source.
