I really like the egret image, wonderful.
Just a quick question (not worth its own thread) for any bird togs - if you are on Auto ISO what do you set the minimum shutter to?
Cheers for any replies
Thanks a lot Phil - lately I have been shooting small birds in the park (very casual stuff, just while out for a walk) and definitely missing a lot of shots due to a too-slow shutter. I'm currently at 1/250 minimum shutter so I might try 1/500 (provided the light is ok of course as my RX10 prefers a low-ish ISO if possible)There's no correct answer Mike, it all depends on the situation, available light, small garden bird, perched owl, how essential is the hit rate......I could go on
As a general rule, I'm always around 1/1250th but, depending on any of the above, I might go as low as needed and hope there's no motion blur from the bird or camera shake hand held.
Perfect example above, Twite hand held, waving camera and lens about, good light 1/1250th
Grey wag in shadow, but I could rest the camera/lens on a wall so 1/320th, took quite a few, half were keepers due to birds rapid movement.
A few recent shots taken during my exercise walks...Sony A9 and 200-600mm lens....
