[QUOTE="Don Kuykendall_RIP, post: 217211, member: 6277"] The rule of thumb for minimum shutter speed is that the shutter speed sound be the same at the focal length you are shooting at. Example = 60mm should be no slower than 1/60 120mm hould be no slower than 1/120sec Those are the basic place to start. You can go slower but you run the risk of movement that would soften the shot. Objects that move you will have to take into account how fast they move. Get your calculator out sometime and see how far an object moves when it is moving 5MPH. How far does it travel in 1/60sec. Now change it to 10mph. I think once you do this you will see what you are dealing with with slow shutter speeds. A falcon can fly from 50MPH all the way up to 242MPH. The common seagulls we all like to shoot on the beach can fly up to 47MPH [/QUOTE]
