[QUOTE="Mike D90, post: 247511, member: 17556"] It amazed me as well but, now that I have more shutter button time under my belt, I almost never shoot under 1/1000th if I am outside in daylight using my long lens. I now let my ISO go high because I have learned how to remove the noise and grain with Light Room. Also, that noise and grain is reduced with a properly exposed image with good DOF and a sharp focused subject. The other grain and noise in the background can easily be lost or disguised in the bokeh. In other words, I am no longer afraid of high ISO. This has freed me to use high shutter speeds and smaller apertures for better, sharper images in the camera and less post processing sharpening later. Fast shutter speeds virtually eliminate any camera shake and over comes the fuzziness induced by longer lenses at slower shutter speeds. So if you have good shutter speed and good DOF your image should be sharp as long as you are in focus. DOF is so important I have found. At distance you have so little DOF that a fast shutter speed wont help with. If you need all of the image nice and crisp you need a smaller aperture (higher f stop number) and birds particularly need to be all in sharp focus. Of course, to have both fast shutter and good DOF you will have to up the ISO. Even in good light. I will reiterate what Brian has said here. His methods are what I have taken in advice directly from him. I shoot mainly one type of subject when I go out. I believe that if I focus on one type of shooting, I can better my skills on that particular type of shooting. If I skip around and shoot many different things I have to make too many changes and I get lost in the numbers and settings. I like to concentrate on one type of shooting until I get it down pretty good to where I don't have to think so much about it next time. After a period of time it becomes a lot quicker and easier. Then I move to something else and learn more about it. [/QUOTE]
