Greetings Avian experts,after a disastrous session trying to shoot seagulls in flight and get the exposure somewhere near,I have come to the conclusion that setting a manual exposure of some sort may be the answer as opposed to letting the camera do the metering,I was thinking of using a grey card to do this.I would appreciate any and all pointers.Many thanks,M.Kilner
I use manual exposure and constantly check the histogram for clipping. I get a baseline exposure from something close to a gray card in the scene I'm looking at, adjust a bit to left for white birds, photograph, check the LCD and go from there.
