Matt Laur Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Important: please keep your image under 1000 pixels on the longest side for in-line viewing, and please keep the FILE SIZE UNDER 300kb. Note that this includes photos hosted off-site (at Flickr, Photobucket, your own site, etc). Are you new to this thread? The general guidelines for these Wednesday threads are right here:http://www.photo.net/nikon-camera-forum/00W7km. This forum's moderators are allowing up to three Nikon Wednesday images per week, so share some work! What was I saying just one Nikon Wednesday ago about spring finally arriving? OK, now it's really really arrived. Because the pollen is going bonkers. I'm hesitant to swap lenses anywhere outside right now with this toxic sticky organic dust arriving in drifts. Next stop: our 17-year cicada brood is due any minute now, and it's going to be a doozy. So, here's what I was trying to breath through, today. Share some shots that don't make my eyes water! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShunCheung Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Anna did well. Photography's not bad, also. Thanks. To photograph hummingbirds, one needs to be patient. Moreover, you have not seen the huge number of images I deleted. This practice would have been almost prohibitively expensive during the film era. I captured those images yesterday, machinegun style, and I had about 400 frames after one hour. In the old days, that would have been say 10 rolls of slide film, at $10 a roll for film and processing .... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Currie Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 I'm a bit amused by the auto censor. In the shot above, in case anyone from not around these parts is wondering, I am not swearing at those little buds. Those willows are named after an affectionate term for little cats, whose double-entendre was unintentional. Added note on hummingbirds. I recall my grandfather, an early adopter of the old Barnack Leicas, strove mightily for years to catch a hummingbird, and was thrilled when he finally did. I got a couple on film much later, and they were points of great pride. Hooray for digital! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dieter Schaefer Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 (edited) D850, 500PF, 1/2000s, f/5.6 ISO 180 ISO 250 ISO 320 I wonder what these would look like without AutoISO turned on? ISO 180 (the sequence started with 120 and a totally empty blue sky) appears a tad too low; ISO 320 (the highest in the sequence) appears a tad too much; 250 or 280 would have been OK for the entire sequence. Which is probably what I would have set the camera too as I was shooting another egret on the ground but in the same light. Just can't bring myself to turn AutoISO off:rolleyes: Edited April 21, 2021 by Dieter Schaefer 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just can't bring myself to turn AutoISO off:rolleyes: Many years ago, I shot for an hour with a similar subject, a snowy egret, which also has completely white feathers. At the time I was using a Nikon D2X, which puts it back ground 2006 or so. It was around 9, 10am with full sunlight that wasn't changing much any more. I metered it once and then just switched to manual exposure mode. And I used the same exposure for that one hour. Everything came out fine. If your flying bird subject is going in and out of shadows, e.g. a forest, or there are backlit situations, that is a different story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dieter Schaefer Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Everything came out fine. At least nowadays with some cameras, AutoISO can be turned off without the need to dive into the menu system. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
