[QUOTE="Joseph Bautsch, post: 22779, member: 654"] Neither the 70-300mm or the 18-105mm will work very well for night shooting. They don't have a small enough f/stop to get good shots. You should be using at least a f/2.8 or less. Either the 35mm f/1.8 or the 50mm f/1.8 lens will do the job and are not very expensive. For the migratory birds try using the AF-C for the auto focus. That way when you press the shutter button half way down the camera will continue to focus on the subject even if it's moving away or toward you. Also try setting the focus on spot or use the dynamic focus setting. It will take some practice keeping the focus point on the subject but this should give you a better chance of getting the shot you want. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
