[QUOTE="Mike D90, post: 213407, member: 17556"] First post. I have set up a bird pirch outside one of my windows. It is place within 20 feet of the window I use for a blind. I made sure the background is about 10 feet or more away (behind) the pirch. My first shots were tests of exposure settings. I have set A-priority of f5.6, ISO sensitivity to max of 1600 and set ISO at 400 with minimum shutter speed of 1/250s. I also dialed in (-) exposure comp of -0. 3. Of all the shots this was the best. I know, there is no bird there! It will take time to attract them I guess but this should allow me to shoot more often without having to travel to a site. Give me some critique on exposure levels and focus, also bokeh if you want.
