I share the opinions of those who complimented the photography. And I agree that the fast shutter speed was most helpful. May I ask what focal length lens? (Sorry for the late response.)

most are 1/1500 sec, f4 [would have loved a faster lens], lens 24-105 f4, 42 MP [which allowed for down cropping] focal length varied but 46-80mm was the usual. i'll send you a screenshot of the metadata.

Thanks. The bird was relentless, so I had many days to practice. Isnt it wonderful to see things with a camera that our own eyes just could never see.

Did our cardinal make you think of these? By the way, he seems to have disappeared! Lovely to see you yesterday, by the way.

I know. there is no way the human eye could see this. It was blazing fast. I had the camera set to 1/1250th of a second, which maks the blink of an eye look like a road trip to bton.
