I guess you used manual focus, did you ? I don't think any auto-focus camera will work for small birds inflight. You mentioned -1/3 stop metering. Did you use spot metering ? If this small bird is pure white then what metering setting should it be ?   Bernard.   Logged Hendrix BBS Member BBS God I love wings!     Gender: Posts: 1001 Re: Black-capped Kingfisher 藍翡翠 - Inflight « Reply #9 on: Oct 23rd, 2003, 6:43pm » Quote Modify   KK, did you use BB on this       as I see the light spot in eye   Can the flash recharge so quick ?

I don't think any auto-focus camera will work for small birds inflight. You mentioned -1/3 stop metering. Did you use spot metering ? If this small bird is pure white then what metering setting should it be ? ...   I pre-focus and used 'one-shot AF' on the perch that this little guy was likely to make a landing on. In fact, he barely touched it and took off again in no time. This is a pose of him doing just that!     Incident light metering was used. For a totally white bird such as the egret, a compensation of between -2/3 to -1 1/3 is not unusual with DSLR such as the EOS-10D. This shall also apply if you use EOS  'partial metering' mode.   Hendrix wrote: Quote: ... did you use BB on this as I see the light spot in eye   Can the flash recharge so quick ?   No, I didn't use flash as I was shooting with early morning direct light. Getting the catchlight was just pure luck in this instant!     KK Hui ARPS www.geocities.com/kkhui_001   Logged Pages: 1  Reply Send Topic Print Forum Jump: ----------------------------- Announcement 簡訊通告 -----------------------------  - Membership Affair 會員事務   - Outings / Activities 戶外活動 / 講座   - Projects 項目計劃   - Crested Bulbul Club 紅耳鵯俱樂部 ----------------------------- Discussion Area 討論區 -----------------------------  - General 一般問題   - Conservation 自然保育   - Bird Identification 鳥類辨識   - Birding Reports & Tips 觀鳥報告及心得 => Photo Gallery 相片分享 I   - Photo Gallery 相片分享 II ----------------------------- Special Topics 特別主題 -----------------------------  - Wild Birds & Avian Flu 野鳥與禽流感   - Sustainable Management Scheme in Long Valley 塱原可持續生態管理計劃   - Black-faced Spoonbill 黑臉琵鷺   - Goodbye Penfold 告別彭福   - Tern Conservation 燕鷗保育   - Black-eared Kite 鳶(麻鷹)   - Swifts and Swallows 燕與雨燕   - China Birdwatching Network 中國觀鳥活動網絡   - Winter Altas Survey 冬季鳥類普查   - Nature Conservation Policy 自然保育政策 ----------------------------- Knowledge Sharing 知識分享 -----------------------------  - FAQ 常見問題   - Archive 資料重溫 « Previous topic | Next topic »
