[QUOTE="canuck257, post: 563327, member: 38099"] I have been watching for these Pelicans to arrive at this location for several weeks because it provides excellent access. Today was the first time I had seen them, a single one preening. I fired off several shots at my normal BIF shutter speed 1/1250 for the record, then cranked it down to 1/640 to reduce the ISO. THAT'S when he decided to take off in my direction!!!! I had no time to increase the speed, these are big birds with slow wing beats (thank goodness) but they cover a lot of ground very quickly. It doesn't help that I'm still fumbling my way around all the knobs and dials on the D500:confused: [/QUOTE]
