Bird Photography Feeding Station : update 31st Jan 2013

cheers guys
I'll be popping back to see how you get on.

Looking at your Siskins I see you're stopping down to f8 and retaining 1/4000 with ISO4000

I'm going to be after some action shots soon and also need the extra light.

40D and 1D2 just didn't allow me to push the ISO high enough to even think about shooting with anything other than f5.6 which just had birds leaving the dof.

Just picked up a 1D3 and without using it in anger i think i can push the ISO further to increase shutter speed or depth of focus - perhaps both who knows.

yeh, know what you mean - need some good sun so I can push the ISO and thus the shutter higher to freeze the wings.

Going to tweak the station setup this week, so the birds' positions are more predictable - the hope for some sun :)
