[QUOTE="Clovishound, post: 831779, member: 50197"] Well, I tried out the pre-release capture on some warblers this morning. Not ideal conditions as there wasn't a lot of light due to a heavy canopy. I really wanted some in flight pictures so thought I'd give it a shot. I set the shutter speed too slow to get sharp images for small birds, trying to keep the ISOs from being too high since these are forced JPGs. I switched to RAW files early on, and had no firm grasp of how much more flexibility it gives in processing, especially in high ISO images with shadows. All that to say these are not good images, but do give a hint at what I might be able to get if I can get everything right. Not sure I'm able to get bright enough conditions here at this forest, but I think next time here, I'll risk high ISOs to get higher shutter speeds.
