 | * The gameplay : A Walkthrough
1. you will be given an assigment.
2. Tools will be introduced. Later in the game play you will have to choose between camera with flash and without flash (for night time)
3. After you complete your main assignment, there will actually be a succession of other assignments for your to get points for as long as the overall timer of the current assignment is still not finished yet. This would also depend on the number of shots left. Even if you can not manage all those mini-assignments within time, it is ok since you have completed your main assignment. Which is why it is very important to use the coffee, seeds and stopwatch sparingly because the main assignment once completed does not mean the game for that stage is completed.
4. You will then have to choose which picture to keep (in your journal where you should actually take a picture of a species in stationary motion and in flight) and which to discard. A good tip. The one that is chosen as the cover of a magazine is the one for keeps even if you personally do not like it, since this is where you will collect points for your good taste in choosing which to keep.If you do happens to take a picture of the same species in the last assignment, you will also have to choose whether to keep or discard it if you have captured the same species in the current assignment.
5. You can click on each photo as each is a thumbnail to a bigger sized picture. You can also check out your choices in your journal.
6. You can actually create your feather friends using the pre-sets. Similar to The Sims, but lower tech involved. You can even upload and download the birds although I have not tried this yet.

* How to get a 3 star & above picture
The get a 3 star and above picture, your subject (the bird) must be in the centre of your camera frame and close enough to see the features. A great one would involve some activity on the part of the bird, the best example is flying. If you're capturing a bird in flying motion, the best angle is the side of the bird, tilted and with the wing span clearly seen. This would involve a zoom lense, a cup of coffee and also the pocket watch which slows down the time. In fact that kind of picture will get you 4 stars and above.

* How to capture a bird in a stationary position
To get a picture of a bird in stationary position and yet good enough for 3 star and above, the best possible way which would not waste your coffee or the stop watch or the allocated number of shots allowed would be to use the seeds. Get ready with your zoom lense, zoom it first to desired proximity, feed the seeds to the bird you wish to photograph and immediately take the picture with the bird in the centre of your frame. The time frame between the feeding and the capture of that frame is no more than 5 seconds so you must make sure everything is in order and ready before feeding the bird. A close proximity of such a shot with the bird's head tilting by the side and its side facing the camera would get you a 3 star and above. A full frontal face shot of the bird I realise is not very effective for points, it's the slightly by the side shot that is the best. Don't worry about the symbol on top of the bird which indicates it is feeding. You can just snap the picture since that indication is merely telling you the bird is feeding.

* When to use the stopwatch and coffee
The coffee should only be used when taking a picture of a bird in motion, such as flying. But to take a picture of a bird that is in motion and is fast, the stopwatch is the ideal tool although the effect, like the coffee wears off much too fast. So plan your shots whilst be wary of the overall timer for your current assignment and the allocated shots.

* Before going to the assignment, always check for the time. If it is night, remember to add the night lens. Stopwatch is a must for all assignment as it is REALLY great when taking a photo of a bird in flight. Superb effect.
Zoom lens wise, 4x lens are already good enough. 7x is way too much for most of the assignment. Also, look out for the types of photos you are suppose to get, if birds in flight, you will need your toy plane, if eating, get your handy bird seeds, preening: use the mirror, stationary: use your whistle to get them landing, etc.
Unless you have really sharp eyes, I suggest to bring along your bird identifier too.

* The stop watch is the best tool. just click it when your subject [bird] is doing what the mission says and you'll be able to take multiple [1-6] pictures of the bird while it's frozen.
