[QUOTE="Dawg Pics, post: 685617, member: 26505"] This was a grab shot. The shutter was up at 750th, which was where I had the camera set due to shooting birds flying onto my feeder. All of my bird shots were set at around that speed during that time. Normally, I wouldn't set the camera like that just for a still shot. I am pretty sure this was an overcast day and kind of late in the day as well. I do try to shoot at least double the focal length plus some for hand-held because I am not as steady as most people even when I anchor myself. I believe you know what you are doing. My Dad was a professional photographer, and I have had cameras in my hands off and on since I was about 12. My favorite camera was a Minolta HiMatic E film camera-thought I was a pro with that thing. A few years ago I decided to really learn about photography, so I learned the basics, and there was not harsher critic than my father. He analyzed every image I sent to him and usually wanted the original file, and then he would reprocess it. What I do now is so much better than a couple years ago. However, if you see those bird feeder images, you are likely to think I don't know a thing. Ha Ha. Mostly shooting to catalogue the birds on the feeder, which is why I was set-up in my kitchen shooting through a window. [/QUOTE]
