Excerpt from Photography for Bird-Lovers: A Practical Guide

As to the second - the satisfaction at the mastery of some wild creature - such mastery with gun is no sooner attained than ended, for life is gone and resistance ceases, whereas under the camera's ordnance the mastery may last almost indefinitely.

And lastly - the gratification of curiosity. The gunner, truly, may handle and consider a lifeless stiffening thing (which with a lack of reality may be done in a museum), but to examine at close quarters the living creature which he stalks is not within his plan; such, however, is the very essence of bird-photography.

Thus considered, there is small cause for wonder at the ever-growing popularity of this camera work, especially in a country of such narrow confines as our own where the finer and freer forms of shooting are almost unattainable.
