This bighorn was on the Bow Valley Highway between Castle Mountain and Banff at the end of our trip to photograph landscapes that did not turn out well because of lack of light.
leary of auto-ISO function,prefer to use manual select of this..if I need 800 then set it to 800 ect..keep the ISOs low as possible for better IQ...ntw the 7d is looking better and better in hands of people as yourself knowing how to use it...looking into upgrading to a 7D
Digitalbug30d: The autoiso on 7d works. If you look above at the combination of iso and shutter speed, I would make similar decisions in almost every case but without the iso I would miss 1/3 of the pictures because I would have only set it once. So while I agree with your spirit of not being automatic, like the auto exposure, auto focus, the auto iso, is now better than human when you suddenly come across a animal and don't have much time. I have programmed c1 as autoiso, one shot, centre auto expansion for far. I programmed c2 as auto iso, ai servo for close. So when I come suddenly on an animal its either c1 or c2 and shoot. Thanks for the feedback. Much appreciated. Scott
Martin: Thank you for the feedback. The horn does make the picture work. Much appreciated. Scott
Dick. Thank you for the compliments. I think it worked better because i was lower than the bighorn - in the dish. Being lower has been recommended to me before but this reinforces it. Much appreciated. Scott
