hi all, just a question if anyone can help me.
at the moment im TRYING to shoot BIF in Aperture priority mode, im currently set at the following:
or, do i not bother in A mode and move to manual so i can control everything (apart from AUTO ISO)
im kind of struggling to get good sharp BIF photos. i see so many excellent images on FLICKR (in the UK where i live) with photographers always maintaining HIGH shutter speeds and low ish ISO, even if the birds arent not flying, their settings for SS and ISO are still high and low.......
anyone help me out?
thanks
dave
at the moment im TRYING to shoot BIF in Aperture priority mode, im currently set at the following:
- auto iso set at 3200
- minimum shutter speed set at 1/1600
- matrix metering
- F5.6 wide open, but after my lens was calibrated to my camera the sweet spot/sharpest is at f6.3
- group focus point
- exposure composition will obviously change depending where im shooting (dark woods or skies)
