[QUOTE="snaphappy, post: 158270, member: 12198"] I was so excited to get home and have a look at my shots of 2 osprey pairs today but my results weren't great. I'm not sure where I went wrong and am looking for help. If I was way off in my setting choices I'd appreciate any critical opinions so I can learn and try again. I'm trying the new way of uploading for me so I hope the exif data is available to those who can see that. I've been thinking and thinking this evening and my thought was I shouldn't have been on matrix metering and maybe should have done single point? These are jpegs made from my original Raw files with no editing of any kind (read super ugly) Using D7000 with 70-300mm VR single point focus, and matrix metering for all [ATTACH=CONFIG]39780._xfImport[/ATTACH] iso 200 270mm 0ev f/8 1/1000 [ATTACH=CONFIG]39781._xfImport[/ATTACH] Iso 200 185mm 0ev f/8 1/1000 [ATTACH=CONFIG]39782._xfImport[/ATTACH] iso 200 165mm 0ev f/8 1/1000 [ATTACH=CONFIG]39783._xfImport[/ATTACH] Iso 200 70mm 0ev f/8 1/1000 [ATTACH=CONFIG]39784._xfImport[/ATTACH] iso 200 280mm 0ev f/8 1/800 Oh wow just realized all these shots I chose used the same settings but I was switching around and tried f10 and f13 with slower shutters but with results not much better.
