[QUOTE="pnomanikon, post: 739849, member: 43342"] I've been practicing with the D3100 several times the past month with flowers and birds/critters in our back yard. We get an assortment of deer, rabbits, and squirrels scurrying about. I have tried different focusing modes (single point, area, 3D) and shooting modes (Automatic, Aperture Priority, and even "Sport" mode) with varying rates of success. Some photos have been pretty clear (not as clear as I'd like) and half have been quite disappointing. I'm using the Nikon 55X300 and am careful to not let shutter speeds get below 1/200 when zoomed out, even though I am usually sitting in a chair and have my elbow propped on the arm of the chair. Maybe I need to learn to be a little more genteel on the shutter release. I bumped up the ISO to 400 and 800 to keep the shutter speed fast. It is much easier on my arm and shoulder than the D7200 was, though. I don't miss the extra weight. Oh well, at least I'm not burning through film as I learn to use this camera. LOL [/QUOTE]
