Becca Lady in Red  More info | Apr 21, 2007 07:30 | #1 I've been working to get a little more comfortable with my new Bigma so I have been taking more photos of birds than I ever have before. I have to tell you, those of you who shoot birds full time have my utmost respect! Those little buggers are FAST!   Becca

However, i notice you shot these at ISO100, shutter speed of 1/180s. IMHO, it's very risky (camera shake + subject motion) when shooting at 500mm. Try ISO400, f8. You'll get much faster shutter speed to offset camera shake, subject's movement if any.  Glad you get the hang of the new lens. By the time of the Safari trip, you should be well prepared. In the field should any question arise, I'm sure Dave will be right Bigma person to ask.  Shoot more birds to practice and post them here. Thanks, Fee! I did have the lens mounted on a tripod, although I had the ballhead lose so I could rotate it freely as the birds moved. There's no way I could have gotten these shots handheld. That sucker is HEAVY! Becca
