SHOOT ARTISTIC ABSTRACT BLUR

While a fast shutter speed is needed to catch pin-sharp birds in flight, you can have great fun with slower shutter speeds, too, as this will help you capture a bit of motion in the bird’s wings. This is especially helpful on overcast days when light levels are low. Set the ISO to 100 and close the aperture until you get a shutter speed of around 1/20 sec. Keep practising, as you’ll never get two shots the same, and refine the shutter speed until you get the perfect amount of blur.
