[QUOTE="dmiller91, post: 540513, member: 40649"] Hello, I've spent my winter trying to get better at bird photography. I traveled to Brazil and managed to get a few decent toucan shots in well lit conditions with a d5500 and a 300mm max telephoto. So I know I can do this. Back in cloudy grey cold Wisconsin. Using my d750 with my sigma 150-600mm.. Have a window In the way, but the feeder is maybe 25 feet away. I'm pushing ISO, have tried many settings up to 1200, lens has to be almost wide open, and shutter speeds are rarely above 250, usually below, because of the glass. yesterday I tried my 70-300mm lens. Same results. I want crisp photos. I get acceptable photos. I don't get crisp ones. They are soft. what can I try? I use single point focus , continuous focus. Thanks for any help. Diane [/QUOTE]
