[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 105403, member: 9240"] Bird photos are one of those occasions where I consider using Shutter Priority and playing with my ISO until I can get a usable aperture. A lot of the bird bloggers I know are constantly shooting at 1200-1600 ISO to get the shutter speeds they need. With a tack sharp lens you can usually reduce the ISO noise enough that it's not noticeable, but then again they're shooting with cameras with amazing high ISO performance - the true nature of which I didn't realize until I stepped up from a D7000 to the D600. Nature photography is a lot like nature - you need to find the right balance for things to work properly, so keep shooting. And remember, VR can help with camera movement, but I've never met a nuthatch that stood still and posed for you. ;) [/QUOTE]
