[QUOTE="d5200user, post: 443996, member: 38636"] I've all ready mentioned that the camera was set for birds in flight using shutter priotity. birds inflight require different settings than static birds. I was photographing Mallards when the tree climber came around. the settings do not matter here, the shot is blown. for arguments sake, shutter speed is 1000, iso is 800, aperture 5, center weight metering. we are not supposed to be looking at exif data for this image which is clearly blown. i would prefer that a pro look at the shot, not the photo, and say "for that scene, i would've set the camera ..." i'm thinking aperture priority set to lowest, which is 4.5 for my lens. perhaps iso-200 and shutter speed 1/25, 1/80 or 1/125? basically, how would YOU get this shot? i can be within 5 feet of the tree, the bird would be around 10 feet away from me. the sky would show behind the tree a bit. in this situation, what would you do to get the shot?
