Great pleasure just being there and enjoying the show!   MPNR 26/10/2005 #1 1D Mark II, EF600+2x, f/11, 1/1250s, iso800 http://www.pbase.com/anguslau/image/51426957.jpg   #2 1D Mark II, EF600+2x, f/11, 1/1250s, iso800 http://www.pbase.com/anguslau/image/51426956.jpg   #3 1D Mark II, EF600+2x, f/11, 1/1250s, iso800 http://www.pbase.com/anguslau/image/51426954.jpg   « Last Edit: Nov 4th, 2005, 11:37am by BBS Moderators » Logged KK Hui BBS Member BBS God Bird Photography - at its best ...     Posts: 940 Re: Purple Heron « Reply #1 on: Oct 29th, 2005, 2:42pm » Quote Modify Excellent flight shots with 2x, Angus!

I found that noise at iso800 very managable so long as I don't under-expose my images. I even tried iso1600 recently on early morning low light conditions. I was amazed at the low noise. Sure I can see the noise at 100% view, but they don't seem to be visible at 50% or lower magnifications and on prints. I now become more obsessed with higher shutter speeds and much more willing to trade off with high iso.

There were several of them resting and foraging around the pond. We waited for them to fly. But they refused to cooperate for the first three hours or so. We almost wanted to give up and pack for home. Suddenly all of them became very active and chasing each other furiously! There are always surprises, you never know what's going to happen!
