[QUOTE="napeequa55, post: 553590, member: 42017"] Thanks for the feedback. I have my eye on the 70-300 and will likely procure one as soon as I feel I'm ready to progress. I have played with the A and S priority modes a little. Mostly the shutter priority where I set it to the highest setting to capture those geese in flight. I also tried to catch some humingbireds hovering using the fastest shutter but in both cases I came in way under-exposed. Lesson learned. I also messed around using slower shutter speed on some white water to get that blending flowy effect. Ended up way over-exposed. So lots of learning to do there as well. I think I also need to get off of the auto-focus when shooting animals. I ended up with a lot of shots that were focused on something besides my subject and this was frustrating. Using the focus ring on manual would probably be a better way to go there. Thanks again for the feedback, looking for more suggestions if you have any! [/QUOTE]
