I haven’t  been able to get photos that Sharp yet with my new similar camera. I usually keep the aperture at about 5.6, and I didn’t have to change it for this. It was cloudy, so I had to use a slower shutter speed, 1/125. The ISO I have on auto.  It also helped that they did not care that I was there. I army crawled on the bridge to about 4 feet away and was taking pictures from in between the floorboards and the bottom of the railing. So cool! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catbirds and Red-wingeds are much more camera friendly, flycatchers (excluding Phoebes) tend to keep their distance. I sense a new thread coming on - most difficult/easiest birds to photograph, or maybe not. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I army crawled on the bridge to about 4 feet away and was taking pictures from in between the floorboards and the bottom of the railing. So cool! Absolutely, 100% correct. The sharpest shots I get are from birds that are very close, or close enough to see well with the naked eye, and in good lighting. My camera CAN take sharp, good photos, but the circumstances required rarely present themselves. Another instance of this can be seen here, where I literally sat in a chair under the feeders for half an hour and waited for the birds to return. https://ebird.org/checklist/S74731620?_gl=1*17skv0h*_ga*Njg0OTM1NDk5LjE1ODI4NDA4NjI.*_ga_QR4NVXZ8BM*MTYyMDY2MDYzOC44LjEuMTYyMDY2MDY3My4yNQ..#_ga=2.57012138.1026803051.1620510832-684935499.1582840862 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
