Birds in Flight Photography Training Update

During my more than 10 years of photographing birds in flight / and the training of new photographers in birds in flight photography I continuously worked on fine-tuning the curriculum for the successful capturing of various birds with different cameras / speeds and lighting conditions.

I believe that once a fair understanding of exposure / autofocus settings are achieved and the basic personal behaviour skills (anticipation and responsiveness) are mastered the photographer should predominantly focus on subject and environmental conditions.

On an updated article here on my website I discuss various environmental variables without specific reference to exposure and autofocus settings.
