MuttleMcTuttle 21 Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 The 2nd pic of the starling is ok but the others are destined for the bin I think. What lens and settings? Cleaning the windows would help, or getting off your bum and going outside The last pic would have been nice, but the bird is just too fuzzy. The camera has done well with the exposure though, not easy to get birds against a bright sky. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MuttleMcTuttle 21 Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 I think you need a little more speed, 1/200 isn't really fast enough for small birds - they are constantly on the move, plus the speed is less than the focal length of the lens, so that will leave you wide open to camera shake problems. Yes, I know you can handhold pics at 1/20th sec, blah blah blah... The late sunlight has brought the colours out well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
