This eBook takes a simple, non technical approach to photographing birds. It's especially written for users of Canon EOS cameras and looks at the topics that you need to understand to take some great bird pictures.

The book features a number of practical assignments that follow up on the topics taught in each chapter and is designed to reinforce the things that you have learnt.

The techniques are simply explained and all the "jargon" so often seen in photography, is demystified.
