Nice, a bit out of focus but you'll get the hang of it B

[misfish]

Need to use the tripod more J. Thnaks

 

I was going to use gallery,but left it.

[Rodbender]

Try something slower than a whistler Gulls are good for BIF practice as for a tripod I'd be a mangled mess trying to use one on BIF

[misfish]

BIF? Bring in focus? LOL

 

That shot,I seen the bird flying. Got a head of it and waited for it to come into the shot then snapped it.

Birds In Flight. You'll wanna pan with the bird instead of waiting for it to get to a certain spot then taking the pic. Unless you can use something like a 1/2500s shutter speed

BIF Bird in Flight when I take them I track the bird keeping the focus point on the eye and don't stop moving follow through

[Rodbender]

And just when you think everything is right good light great full down stroke of the wings far enough away from the back Ground

 

 

the pic this size it looks good but look at it 1:1 and nothing is in focus

[misfish]

Ok cool got ya,s thanks.

 

So the setting I posted,do I want to change anything or add to it?

 

This what I have to use. I want to get the best out of it I can. Photographing is fun,but spending big dollars is out of the question for me. Fishing gear comes first.LOL

Ok,now your just showing off.LOL

 

Great shot.

[Rodbender]

for that camera I'd put ISO on auto

put it in Shutter priority start at 1/1000 and up I like 1/1250 to 1/2000

select the centre focus point it's usually the fastest

 

and the biggest thing is practice Practice practice

 

Notes help too and if possible have them going side ways with the sun behind you

 

You'll get alot that go in the trash bin

[misfish]

Thanks.

 

I,ll be out Sunday trying again. Lots of water fowl around here right now.

Holy crap just read a bit on that camera it goes to 720mm

 

sorry don't know what dynamic range is

 

If you or anyone else is out this way Ajax/Oshawa give me the heads up I'll take you out to a couple of my spots spring is good for Warblers and waterfowl Fall is good for Hawks

Is that a bad thing?

[Rodbender]

You got me excited now. LOL

[Rodbender]

 

 

You got me excited now. LOL

If your out tomorrow and some ducks are just swimming around close change your setting to Arpature Priority and set it a F8 focus on the eye I never use my camera in AUTO I want to be in control not what the camera thinks I want shutter and arpature priority are semi auto you pick the shutter speed or arpature and the camera picks the other for you

 

Also a biggie here that i forgot about use the buit in light meter

should have lines on the bottom of the viewfinder when you look through it make sure its centred or a tiny bit to the + side then your exposure is good
