Today I saw a lot of ducks swimming in the sea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I take pictures of birds I use my Nikon D7100 with a 300mm lens and a converter on 1.4, so I get really close, but still, the birds are far away.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I love to sit down and look for birds. It&#8217;s a meditative activity that I highly recommend. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stuff about birdwatching<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can find a lot of stuff about birdwatching on Amazon.

Through my lens, I seek more than just images. I seek presence. I believe photography is not only about what we see, but how we see \u2014 how we meet the world with open eyes and a quiet mind. For me, photography is a way of listening. A form of mindfulness. A practice of stillness and wonder. I\u2019m also a globetrotter at heart. I love traveling and discovering new places with my camera \u2013 from quiet corners of nature to vibrant city streets. My blog reflects this love for exploring, with stories and photographs gathered along the way. Each journey deepens my appreciation for light, texture, and the way places speak if we take the time to listen. I photograph with both DSLR and iPhone, always guided by what moves me rather than by gear or trends. I created this space to share moments that speak, not shout. Images that invite you to pause. To feel. To breathe. Whether you\u2019re a fellow photographer or someone simply seeking calm in a noisy world, I hope you\u2019ll find something here that resonates. When I\u2019m not behind the camera, I write about mindful photography, run a Norwegian photo community called Se Utover, and create courses that combine creativity, presence, and personal growth. Thank you for visiting. I\u2019m so glad you\u2019re here.\",\"sameAs\":[\"http:\\\/\\\/elibragerphotography.com\",\"https:\\\/\\\/www.facebook.com\\\/EliBragerPhotography\",\"https:\\\/\\\/www.instagram.com\\\/elibrager\",\"https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube.com\\\/@bragerfoto9838\"],\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/elibragerphotography.com\\\/nb\\\/author\\\/elibrager\\\/\"}]}<\/script>\n<!-- \/ Yoast SEO plugin. -->","yoast_head_json":{"title":"Birdwatching is a meditative activity - Eli Brager Photography","robots":{"index":"index","follow":"follow","max-snippet":"max-snippet:-1","max-image-preview":"max-image-preview:large","max-video-preview":"max-video-preview:-1"},"canonical":"https:\/\/elibragerphotography.com\/nb\/birdwatching-is-a-meditative-activity\/","og_locale":"nb_NO","og_type":"article","og_title":"Birdwatching is a meditative activity - Eli Brager Photography","og_description":"The post describes birdwatching in northern Norway, capturing photos with a Nikon D7100 and a 300mm lens, and recommends birdwatching as a meditative activity.

Through my lens, I seek more than just images. I seek presence. I believe photography is not only about what we see, but how we see \u2014 how we meet the world with open eyes and a quiet mind. For me, photography is a way of listening. A form of mindfulness. A practice of stillness and wonder. I\u2019m also a globetrotter at heart. I love traveling and discovering new places with my camera \u2013 from quiet corners of nature to vibrant city streets. My blog reflects this love for exploring, with stories and photographs gathered along the way. Each journey deepens my appreciation for light, texture, and the way places speak if we take the time to listen. I photograph with both DSLR and iPhone, always guided by what moves me rather than by gear or trends. I created this space to share moments that speak, not shout. Images that invite you to pause. To feel. To breathe. Whether you\u2019re a fellow photographer or someone simply seeking calm in a noisy world, I hope you\u2019ll find something here that resonates. When I\u2019m not behind the camera, I write about mindful photography, run a Norwegian photo community called Se Utover, and create courses that combine creativity, presence, and personal growth. Thank you for visiting. I\u2019m so glad you\u2019re here.","sameAs":["http:\/\/elibragerphotography.com","https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/EliBragerPhotography","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/elibrager","https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@bragerfoto9838"],"url":"https:\/\/elibragerphotography.com\/nb\/author\/elibrager\/"}]}},"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/elibragerphotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/img_6107.jpg?fit=2807%2C1871&ssl=1","jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p29FsT-1mI","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/elibragerphotography.com\/nb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5252","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/elibragerphotography.com\/nb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/elibragerphotography.com\/nb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/elibragerphotography.com\/nb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8754777"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/elibragerphotography.com\/nb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5252"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/elibragerphotography.com\/nb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5252\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5264,"href":"https:\/\/elibragerphotography.com\/nb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5252\/revisions\/5264"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/elibragerphotography.com\/nb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5257"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/elibragerphotography.com\/nb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5252"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/elibragerphotography.com\/nb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5252"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/elibragerphotography.com\/nb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5252"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
