You got right. I was too much concentrating on the ISO Testing
Actually those are test shots. I took the opportunity after rain in the shadow side at late afternoon figuring out how far I can the ISO on the D7000 cranking up that the result is still acceptable.
Well that's how you get to Carnegie Hall Michael. Practice, practice, practice. The high ISO did not seem to adversely affect your photos. I seldom go over ISO 400 but am constantly amazed by the light gathering capabilities of these cameras and lenses.
I barely got this one framed. It's a full shot (cut to 4*3) which is a good thing since it is not really impressive at 100%. But when looking at the full, you hardly notice.
I haven't done a lot of bird photography, but since we put a feeder in the garden, I thought I would give it a go. These are pretty heavy crops - When there is less breeze I will set the camera up closer and hide out of the way with a wireless remote.
