[QUOTE="Marcel, post: 66084, member: 3903"] Beware. With a telephoto lens like the one you have, unless you are using a sturdy tripod, you have to select a shutter speed that is at least as fast as the focal length x1.5. I looked at you exif (file infos) and found that you were using a shutter speed of 1/160s with a focal length of 155mm. 155 x 1.5= 230 so you should have used a shutter speed faster than 1/230s. You could have achieved this by bumping your iso up to maybe 600 and your shot probably would have been a little sharper. I know it's tempting to challenge ourselves with slow shutter speeds thinking that VR will do it's magic, but when it comes to results, some rules bring better results. Nice goose/swan or ??? picture though. The poor thing looks like a prisonner. [/QUOTE]
