Everglades Birds - Photography and Paintography by Ray Bilcliff
Birds in the Everglades Sunset.
Birds at Sunset. The Florida Everglades is home to lots of beautiful and different species of birds and the best time to photograph them is at sunset, if you can't get up at dawn, which is my favorite time of the day. Walking along the waters edge on the beach or stream will produce some great opportunities for shooting the birds and the sunset. But also check out your local park areas or woodlands.
Sunset Birds. Many of the Everglades wading like the herons and egrets birds like to be out feeding at sundown and shooting in this golden hour can produce some outstanding shots of backlit feathers and puts a golden hue onto them that is just awesome.

Photographing The Birds.
Photography Tips. Photographing the swamp birds at sunset is second only to dawn and it is a great experience during the golden hours there are some great opportunities for getting backlit feathers. Lots of swamp birds will rest up during the day and only feed in the morning and evening. Sunset is of course a great time to be out shooting anything.
Lots of birds are sometimes easily scared off so a long zoom lens is needed at least a 300mm or longer. I like to use shutter priority of about 500th sec or higher but you may need to use a tripod, birds don't stay still for too long and catching them as they fly off into the sun is a special treat. Remember to boost your ISO up to 800/1600 if you can't get enough shutter speed due to low light levels.
