description: Birds may not have changed much since John Warham wrote the earlier editions of this book but there have been continuing improvements in the techniques used to photograph them. In this new edition the 35 mm single lens reflex, with it's wide range of high resolution lenses, have largely replaced the bigger format cameras and through-the-lens metering greatly assists those working from hides. The new lenses are lighter and more compact and with high speed colour film, hand-held studies of birds wild and free using lenses up to 1000 mm focal length have become possible. Many kinds of electronic flash units are available which are smaller, lighter, and often pack a bigger punch than their predecessors and so widen the scope of he subjects that can be tackled.
