Low shutter speed birds.

[toonamp]

I've had awfull weather all day, very bad light. I managed to get these.

The first is at 1/60s f5.6 ISO800

The second two at 1/25s f5.6 ISO400

Thanks for looking

very nice ant

 

[Effjay]

Very good captures for those shutter speeds, nicely done. Number 2 is the best in my book

Good set Ant, #2 looks far from happy about the situation Thanks for the Robin as well

 

[BRASH]

The first two are very good, for them being at such slow speeds. The last one is, well a Robin:

 

[Trex500]

Excellent photos, really well done on all three.

 

[sbowler579]

A very nice set, considering the bad light.

 

[macky799]

As I said Ant these are cracking shots and even more so for the shutter speeds you took them at you had the settings eg exposure spot on for those well done

Its amazing what you can do with a stable tripod and a bit of care. I fairly frequently shoot at <1/100s and it doesn't always work but when it does you can get some good pictures.

#1 is the pick for me with the streaks of rain behind and the really wet feathers...

Thank you all for looking, and your kindly comments

These were taken resting on a beanbag btw.

Nice shots, hard to choose but I think #3 for me as it shows the wetness on the stones rather well.

Was this with IS on or off.

Nice set Ant - the wet look works for me.

 

[coopers]

All fantastic shots,first shot being my favourite.....love the bedraggled look
Just shows that you don't always need loads of light to get well exposed shots (grabs camera bag).......

You've done well considering the light. I was struggling myself yesterday, and that was shooting at f2.8!

 

[toonamp]

Thanks everyone

Ken I had the IS on, I did a fairly extensive trial with it on and off while using the beanbag, and on was by miles the better for me. It may vary with other cameras and lenses though.

Clive if I've encouraged one person to "Grab their camera bag" then mission accomplished

 

[jack-thompson]

very good for those shutter speeds

Nice set, I love the first one!
