Oh, and some great bird photos. *by M***A on May 28, 2015* This book is wonderful as a piece of instructional material (picking a shutter speed, mode, lens, etc.) and as a primer to the actual practice and business of being a pro bird photographer... birding hotspots, travel tips, concrete ideas for marketing and selling your pics, etc. They aren't afraid to recommend specific gear, specific hotels and tours, and even websites where you can sell your work. And most of the info, though centered around northern europe, is relevant to everyone.The authors understood that some of the gear they mention will be dated a few years after they wrote this, but you can figure out pretty quickly what you need and who makes it and where to get it. And the locations they recommend will probably still be great places to see birds in a hundred years.It's fascinating to read about their dedication, which includes making their own blinds, sleeping in a tiny tent outdoors in the winter, and even building their own homemade contraptions... one of the authors has made a remote control box to house his camera so it can rest in a marsh or snowy pine and capture pics of birds from distances that would otherwise be impossible. Imagine filling the frame with a bird using an ultra wide angle lens... how's that possible? This book will tell you.The photos blew me away and my only regret is I got this book the same way I get all my others these days... electronically, rather than buying a physical copy. But some of the photos really need to be seen in print, filling a big page, not as tiny jpegs on my phone screen. If you're reading this before buying, consider buying the print edition, even if you usually prefer the kindle edition of most books. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ All I can say is WOW *by C***E on June 2, 2016* Wow...what a book. I am a photographer but bought this as a gift for a friend who is an avid bird photographer. The photos are fabulous and the background information and how to's are very enlightening. The 3 photographers that created this book are internationally recognized and rightly so. They are extremely talented and their work is incredible. This book is packed with over 300 pages of very beautiful and highly unusual shots of birds from around the world. These guys go the distance when it comes to capturing birds in action, or seeing them from a different and unique perspective. I would highly recommend it to any bird, or nature photography lover. Even though it is a soft cover, it is a high quality book that was more than worth the money that I paid for it. After buying it, I can honestly say that I am now a fan of Varesvuo, Peltomaki, and Mate. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Malaysia Middle Class Bird Photographer *by B***H on January 2, 2015* Happy New Year. 2015First would like to thanks Amazon even we're thousands mile away and received the goods in time and good condition.The book is fantastic for bird photography. My country have only ones season (Summer) and approx. 80% of the birds shown in the book are more on 4 seasons country. That's not important as long the technique, recommendation, advice, tips and methods are mentioned/stated in the book are good enough for a "Middle class" photographer like me to upgrade to Professional Photographer.Bird photographing is just one of my hobby and my aim is to shooting and achieved a good quality photos on Swallow birds flying and catching insects. Is not easy because the bird is too small and fly every fast.This book to me is very useful and given 5 stars for this book. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/1206927-the-handbook-of-bird-photography](https://www.desertcart.us/products/1206927-the-handbook-of-bird-photography) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-09-17*
