Full Version: Bird of prey.

Today while walking around, we spotted a bird of prey almost overhead. Of course I had just put the camera in the case, so while taking it out again, the bird floated further away. Behind me was a fence, so I changed to the 300mm and climbed through the fence. I rattled off a few shots bracing the camera on the fence.
When I got home all the shots were black. I had moved the setting accidentally from AV to M whilst going through the fence. Rolleyes
It was set to 1/100 at f.45 ......Mhhh a little soft as well.
Ah well there's always tomorrow. Big Grin
LOL , i did the same thing while shooting soccer . I shoot action in AV and center focus , but the camera wouldnt act right , i had four or five focus points lighting up . All kind of things messing with me , but after about five minutes messing with things ( battery , and what nots ) i looked and the camera had been bumped to DEP .
So i feel your pain , better luck next time ....... Shawn
Thanks Shawn. Though I will no doubt do it again. Rolleyes
