Hi Daniel,

Wonderful shot under a cloudy day. I was at TBT on 23/1 and took serveral photos of birds in flight, but I couldn't get as much contrast and detail as you. Do you have any tips for us as reference?

Hi Isaac,

I would suggest you to use M mode for action shots to avoid the wrong metering from changing light of background & foreground. For white object in sunny day and using DSLR, you should also reduce the exposure by -2/3 ~ -1 depending on the level of white object. In cloudy day, 0 or -1/3 would be enough.

Anyway, you can make use of your Nikon body for metering mid-tone object as it should be more accurate than my 10D in my own experience.

Hope this help.

Daniel
