[QUOTE="Mike D90, post: 230950, member: 17556"] If the bird is still then, yes, I can certainly use a much lower shutter speed and have. If they are moving at all there will be some blur. Problem is I thought I had plenty of light. Maybe the seasonal sun being lower on the horizon is not as bright to the camera as it is to my eyes. I actually did this time. On the shots I was taking with the bird against the bright blue sky I dialed in a couple stops, sometimes less, of +EV. I think that actually is evident in the shot of the buzzard where I managed to get detail of its under belly. Most of them the bird was just too dark underneath and I was unable to lift all the shadow. On the Egret shots some of those I adjusted EV as well as I noticed before that some had blown highlights. So I dialed in a little +/- EV on some of those as well to see what happened. [/QUOTE]
