[QUOTE="Mike D90, post: 216755, member: 17556"] I just don't understand what it is I am doing wrong. I got really close to these birds. They are regulars at my work because we have a large fresh water pond stocked with fish. They are mostly accustomed to people so I can get really close. Through my viewfinder I saw good sharp eyeballs on teh birds. I get home, download the shots. These I have posted are the best of the 59 images I took and I consider these as trash images. Is it the ISO that make these grainy and unsharp? Is it the lens that is not sharp at max zoom? I was using a Nikkor 55-200mm ED VR zoom at 200mm. Here is the EXIF data so you don't have to look for it. - Hand held - 200mm - f/5.6 - 1/350th sec - ISO 1600 - 3D Tracking 11 points - Daylight WB [ATTACH=CONFIG]58752._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]58753._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]58754._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
