About Wetland & Water Birds

When shooting at spots like Najafgarh or Dhanauri, lighting is the first hurdle. You'll often deal with bright reflections off the water, so getting your exposure compensation right is the first thing we'll fix. I'll help you stop relying on Auto mode so you can actually capture the moment a Watercock takes flight or a Pelican lands, rather than coming home with blurry shots.
