Hi hope this is in the right section,
I have been offered to go up to the Farne Islands at the weekend for the puffins,
I have never been before and not really shot birds in flight,
With it not being exactly cheap I don’t really want to mess it up and at least come away with some useable shots,
Can anyone with this experience please share some advice on what would be best for me to start out on settings wise,
It’s a D7500 and I’d be using Tamron 150-600 G2,
I’d just like to get some sharp in flight shots so the day isn’t going to be wasted,
Ideally I should of practiced beforehand but it’s last minute decision and I took it,
I was kinda thinking 1/2000, 6.3 and Group AF, but unsure on iso settings, maybe auto iso ?
I currently use matrix metering which I find ok for most things, but I did try a bird before and the bird was dark,
So I’m guessing another metering mode, maybe spot for BIF ?
Hope I’ve covered everything here to get the most accurate advice,
Thanks in advance
