I took these yesterday at work. Compared to others here I am not that good with BIF but thought that these came out reasonably well. Taken with Nikon 200-500 at 500MM, F5.6, ISO 400, with the D810, using AFC, d-9, focusing. Tried a few with AFC, GRP focus mode but had problems getting things focused. This lens has excellent bokeh and VR in my opinion,

Great shot Tim,

That what I need to aspire to. I am still having trouble keeping the focus box on the target. You know its sharp when you can see the water droplet details and the eyes of course, as in your photo. Can you tell me more about that photo? What lens, camera and also the F- stop. Thanks

Hi Laslo,
Exposure Time 1/3200
F Number f / 7.1
Exposure Program Manual
ISO Speed Ratings 1000
Metering Mode Pattern
Focal Length 300mm F/2.8 VR
Model NIKON D810

So plenty of shutter speed and depth of field, in bright conditions I don't worry about ISO much. I like to use
the 9 point dynamic AFS-C mode. 13 years of practice.

"13 years of practice"

That's the real key.

Laslo, also, you need to get the bird coming not going. It can be tough, I know, I have discarded a lot of bird butts from my hard drive.

Thank you. I will try. I am still having trouble getting on the birds quickly enough, not because of the lens but my lack of experience in this area. Luckily we have plenty of gees an about 2 herons on our property where I work.
