Photographing birds in flight.

[Johnny Thunder]

Hi everyone.

Could you explain to me how meter for a bird in flight against either a bright blue sky, and a grey overcast sky.
Is it a good idea to use manual settings, or should I be thinking about aperture/shutter priority programs?


Thank you.

Either spot meter off the bird or dial in +1.5-2 stops exposure compensation.
