[QUOTE="egosbar, post: 345691, member: 19871"] dont forget shutter speed to focal length , and on the d5200 its a crop sensor so add half again , so at 300mm you should be shooting 1/450 minimum , i quote "maybe i should us a slower shutter speed" the opposite is true , the faster the shutter speed the better chance of tack sharp i would never shoot auto iso , instead i shoot aperture priority and have my iso set to my rear scroll wheel so i choose the depth of field i want then i might increase iso up to 400 but on the d7100 i will shoot higher if i must , the only reason im increasing iso is to get shutter speed higher then focal lenghth plus half again for the crop sensor , i agree with above the 18-300 wouldnt be at its sharpest at 300mm , f8 or f11 will give you on most lenses the best chance of sharp looks like pretty good light in pic one you could of easily shot at iso 100 , f8 or maybe a stop wider and a shutter speed of 1/450 or higher single focus is the way to go with still subjects and focus on eye lock it and recompose , continuous focus for moving objects when your zooming in for focus check just go to 100% and see , if you cant get shutter speed high enough get a tripod [/QUOTE]
