NEW VIDEO COURSE COMING SOON!
BIRDS IN FLIGHT
Capturing a bird in flight is a favorite discipline among photographers. But making a shot truly work isn’t just about technique and camera settings. It’s a combination of many elements that need to come together. That’s exactly what my brand-new video course is about — for the first time, I dive deep into a single topic. This is the first part of a planned mini-series titled Photography Techniques by Petr Bambousek. I know tutorials on photographing birds in flight already exist, and general tips are easy to find online. In my course, I wanted to avoid general truths about how to “properly” photograph birds in flight. Instead, I describe in detail my own system that I use in the field. Each chapter goes in-depth so that photographers understand not just WHAT I set, but most importantly WHY and WHEN I adjust settings to get the most out of the situation.
What’s inside the course?
✅ Camera — my go-to settings (focus, exposure, burst modes)
✅ Lens — how your lens choice shapes the final aesthetic
✅ Environment — my principles for the most striking compositions
✅ Bird in Flight — an overview of key subjects and flight behaviors
✅ Photographer — strategies I use for tackling different flight shots
✅ Common pitfalls and how to fix them while shooting
✅ Bonus chapter — editing flight shots on the computer
✅ Saving “almost” shots — rescuing images that just missed the mark
✅ QHD resolution (2560 × 1440)
✅ Bonus PDF — key takeaways, ready to save on your phone
PRICE: USD 75 (Pre-sale: USD 63,75)
🌿 🕒 PRE-SALE (–15%) UNTIL JUNE 30, 2025
I’ve spent several months developing this course, packing it with knowledge drawn from over 20 years of hands-on wildlife experience. All chapters and materials are ready — now I just need a few days to record the voiceovers and weave it all together. Because I have two major trips coming up — one to the Pantanal and one to Thailand — I won’t meet my original goal of releasing the course by the end of May. But that opens up an opportunity: you can pre-order now and lock in the discounted price! I aim to release the finished course after returning from one of these trips, with a latest release date of August 2025. But I’ll do everything I can to make it available sooner.
