Just recently brought a Nikon 200-500mm lens for wildlife, its a bit of a leaning curve especially when it comes to backlit moving birds like the photo attached.
As I live in a hot dry environment a lot of my photos are at sunrise before the heat sets in so iam having a bit of trouble getting my setting right.
I use centre weight metering 12 for most of my shots plus focus is set in dynamic mode 9 if the subject is moving, you can see the rest of the setting on the image.
I know the shutter speed could have been higher but I spooked the subject and it took off before I could change my settings, it's the lighting in the image I am having trouble with as I can't find much information on dealing with high backlit moving subjects.
I usually shoot landscape so any advice will be greatly appreciative (apart from giving up my day job) and how would you pro's set your cameras up to take this image.
Thanks In Advance
