Tricks for photographing birds in flight

Hi Photo,
Wildlife photography is one of the hardest genres to master, simply because you've got to have the patience of a saint! Waiting for that perfect moment, though, gives you an even bigger feeling of reward when it pays off, and one of the most sought-after shots is the bird in flight. Luckily, this issue we've got tips from pro bird photographer Drew Buckley to help you capture this very moment.

We've also got a great guide to capturing stunning outdoor portraits – including creative flash tricks and working with backlighting – as well as a guide to black and white landscapes, a review of the Nikon Df and an in-depth interview with celebrity portrait photographer Art Streiber. What's more, you can even download it now to your tablet or phone so you can read the features on the move. Still loving print?
