BillM Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodbender Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodbender Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 (edited) 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 Edited December 27, 2014 by Rodbender Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
