How to Build Setups to Take Fantastic Bird Photos - Step by Step Guide Showing Exactly How I Do It
Рет қаралды 74,677
Күн бұрынEver wondered how to get beautiful bird photographs in your backyard, in this video I demonstrate exactly how I build a perch holder and set up perches over water.
This is a very quick, affordable, and easy way to get nice shots with very little effort.
I would love to hear in the comments if you try this setup or perhaps let me know what you currently use. Cheers, Duade

As a senior (82) with limited mobility, my photography is confined to my back yard, winter and summer. Due to my living in Canada, (BC) it is wet and cold in winter. To overcome this I take pictures of birds through the open kitchen window, where I sit, watch and and have a cup of coffee. My set up that attracts as many as 18 different species of birds on a good day. I appreciate your tips very much and will try to emulate them as often as I can. Because my backyard is quite small, with a complete wall of trees and bushes I am working on Bokeh backgrounds. I admire the beautiful shots you have shown in this video.

I've just seen this video, 2 years old, but spot on, this summer I did exactly this trick, using a large branch I picked up when walking the dog, put it into an old plant pot near our birth bath, sitting in the garden hand holding the camera I got some great shots, also setting up the camera on a tripod then sitting in the sun room and firing the camera remotely worked, starlings and blackbirds bathing. Love it. We do all have 120 acre gardens unfortunately, in the UK that's called a county..... with 300k people living in it.

Where I live there is a huge population of birds! They fly too high in my tall trees so this video will be very helpful. I have bird feeders but I can see where a water bath and this type of set up will really help me get them on nice branches. I have gorgeous flowers and I can get great photos using your techniques! I am going to try that out tomorrow. I have lots of buckets and scrap lumber. I will get this going and have such fun! My zoom lens is just a 70mm to 300mm lens so this will really help me. Its been very hard to get these small birds up two stories in my trees! I still managed to get some cool ones but this will be so much better! Thank you for simple suggestions to help us take things up a notch. Where I live I can go walking but the birds stay up in taller trees!!! This will help them come down to a closer range. The best birds I have gotten so far are the Bald Eagles below my home, Spotted Towhees and Ravens...some little birds as well. I am so looking forward to using your techniques!

@@Duade yes…huge birder here. Multiple feeders and a water feature. I just couldn’t think of how to set up my yard and your video really helped. He actually made 4 areas for photos. Some with pine branches that are nice and full, 1 with just the plain sticks, one with larger branches with lots of moss and that fluffy kind of lichen, plus he dug up an evergreen sapling that’s about 4ft tall from our woods and replanted it next to our water feature. Rootball and all. So ready! We used to get a lot of snow here when I was kid and even up to around 1998 but climate change put an end to that. I have to take advantage of snow and be efficient about it when it comes to photos.

Terrific ideas, Duane. I'm fortunate to have a small urban backyard with some nice trees in close proximity to my house. With a couple of bird baths and feeding stations, I attract numerous birds throughout the year. And yes, the many of my bird photos are taken in that environment. Now it's time to confess: a good number of my photos are taken from inside the house - while laofing on my living room recliner. I make the supreme effort to keep the window spotlessly clean!

So, I bought a Christmas tree stand before watching the video lol but this is an amazing setup!! I’m actually looking at a spot with Northern Bobwhite here in NC USA. I plan to use a larger log like perch for them to land on instead. I think since they are larger birds, they might look better on more of a thicker log or rock. But these perches you have here are excellent!! Great setup Duade, thanks sir!!
@Pipistrelle07 3 жыл бұрын
I use a Christmas tree stand which has 4 bolts in it to clamp the post in place, instead of a bucket full of rocks, it is easier to move or change out. Also the four bolts screw in and out so it works for different size posts. I also like using real tree limbs for a post in case a woodpecker wants to visit it too.

Good stuff! I'm coming to this a couple years later, but this video has been an inspiration. I built a couple of the bucket perches and placed them on opposite sides of a birdbath, near some trees. (My wife suspected I had lost my mind, I think.) Some of my best images have been made with birds taking the "stair steps" down those perches to the water. Much better images. Backgrounds selected ahead of time and suitably blurred. And another benefit -- the trees near the perches have become a favorite staging ground for birds as they work their way toward the perches. Many, many birds now use the trees and I have made a lot of images of them there -- perhaps a dozen species that have never made their way to the perches, but have come close enough for good pictures. Thank you, Mr. Paton.

I copied this great idea when visiting a local nature reserve. With permission from the nature reserve, I temporarily set up this kind of perch but to keep weight down for my mobile setup, I used scraps of wood to stabilise the base of the upright 2x4 inside the bucket. At the end of the day it was easy to put in the car boot for future use. It works so well as it lets you offer the birds perches that give you a much improved angle on the subject and with a suitable background .

Hi there, Duade! What a difference a season makes... this is the first video of yours I see with green background, full of flowers :-) When it comes to my preferences: I like horisontal photos best. And I do like photos of birds in their natural habitat, like yours Red-capped Robin in the Eucalyptus, but the reason might just be that those are the *only* photos I take. I saunter around, and when I see a bird I photograph it, willy-nilly. No dicipline or setups whatsoever ;-) When it is a special bird (when going on birding tours abroad) that's new to me, I take a photo whatever the distance. The results are, as you might guess, not exciting for anyone but myself. Sometimes the dratted bird is so far away anyone will have to take my word for what species it is, if it isn't of the nice category "Unmistakable". Once in a blue moon I get a nice shot, but not in yours or Jan's eyes, I suspect.
@Duade 2 жыл бұрын
Thank you so much for your comment, what you say is so important and one of the keys in photography. That is take photos that bring "you" joy, not somebody else. Once I stopped taking photos for likes on social media my enjoyment greatly improved. I take many shots that I don't share with anyone as I just enjoy being out with my camera. Great to hear you love being outdoors with our wonderful birds. Cheers, Duade

Morning Duade, a great video which shows what can be achieved by constructing your own garden set up. I’ve been taking photos of garden birds in the UK on feeders but it’s not a good look. After all this time I’ve got a dose of covid which is pretty unpleasant. But this gives me something to look forward to doing after I’ve shaken the bugger off! As for equipment,I started a couple of years ago with a Canon 800D and a Tamron 150 to 600 mk 1. Once I’d got the bug I got a Canon 100 - 400 mk 2 lens with teleconverters. But the real game changer for me was buying the R6. I use it with the other lenses and a Canon RF 600 F11. Thank you for this video it’s given me a goal to achieve once I’m well.

Excellent, love your videos. You spend so much time and effort breaking everything down for us and it's greatly appreciated. I am blessed with a ton of backyard birds but was tired of just getting pics of them on the feeders. My daughter has a 6 foot round garden in our yard and we have numerous staging trees, like you mention in the video. I have a friend I work with that had a few old, antique cedar fence posts so I put them up and it seems to be working quite well. I have it in the garden, between the trees and the feeders and find the birds often sit on the posts as their waiting for a turn at the feeders. I also put a little food in the fence post tops so they stay longer and focus on the food rather than me taking their pics, and you don't see the bird food in the pics which is perfect. Never thought of this idea though, may be something I consider as we do have a bird bath in another part of the garden..

You could easily attach a perch to your fence post on the way to the feeder. Great to hear you have some birds coming in. Cheers, Duade
