Tried Earth Day morning to see what BIF were out and about...
only a Juvie BCNH and Snowy Egret to show for it. Still fun as
I'm pluggin' away with the "cough" heavy/clumsy f4 while most
covet the hard to find f5.6 PF. Guess I'll suffer a bit longer.
Hey guys, it is an image thread but I had a question for BIFs and other fast moving objects, are these settings ok to start with?: M, AF-C, Group, Auto ISO, F-wide open, Cont. H, 1/1000s or more.
The lens is 200-500.

Pretty much how I shoot except...1/2500th min. and let the ISO float.
I've printed thru ISO12800 but always prefer the lowest possible.
One MUST get the shot eh?!

Whoa! So it must be me since I have been doing pixel peeping muchly of late but I observed that by ISO 2500 the noise is too much to keep a fine balance in post processing (For D500).
For Z 6 I shot way higher - 3200 even 6400 and noise levels were ok but of course Z 6 for birding is a major pain the.
Might want to try D25 as group tends to latch onto the closest subject. Meaning, if your shooting wide open and don't have a lot of depth of field you'll get a lot of sharp wingtips but oof eyes. See which works best for your situation.
So, this past Sat I was shooting some Xterra off-road triathlon, not just your normal triathlon... Is the Xterra Way Over Yonder 2019.....
In the woods, I was shooting with my Sigma 50-100 art at f2. The focal length was ideal since the race course is largely rocky single tracks with no long straights. I think I was missing focus (back focusing) by 6". Should have applied -2 in AF tune setting.
