[QUOTE="Bill16, post: 175207, member: 15356"] I haven't taken any photos of birds other than statues, so I can't say from personal experience. But I'm pretty sure there were photos taken of birds before the invention of auto focus. Lol :) But I don't think it would be easy to get great shots. I'd set the shutter speed to very fast and set the lighting to compensate for the shutter speed. Then I would just concentrate on the focus as I find my shots. Also I would hold the button down getting several shots while doing my best to keep the bird in focus. :) Sorry for my lack of technical words fitting what I'm trying to describe. But I'm a newbie and haven't yet memorised the proper terminology yet. :D [/QUOTE]
