When I was at Fallen Leaf Lake last week, I had an opportunity to photograph a pair of Ospreys landing on their nest. I swapped lenses to a VR 70-300 but did not change any camera settings, and the results were blurry, even those where the ospreys were sitting relatively still. I'm interested in learning what I should have done immediately when I saw the opportunity to photograph the Ospreys, and what would have given better results. Here are a couple of examples I wish had been taken with a faster shutter speed and a higher ASA setting. I was in a boat, so use of a tripod was not feasible. I have not investigated the D7200 Scene Modes, so I wonder if the camera is smart enough to increase the ASA or shutter speed when I am photographing a moving subject or panning the camera, if I had changed modes.
