I've been playing around lately with using a slow shutter speed while shooting BIFs. Typically I shoot at 1/2000 to both freeze action and minimize camera movement. The result is sometimes a surrealistic photo that, perhaps, tells a little more about the motion of the birds. The first three were shot at 1/200, the one of the Skimmers, was shot at 1/800,
Let me know what you think!
Its great to experiment. My prediction is your "keeper" rate will be a very low percentage. But once in a great while you may achieve something very stunning.
I really like the composition of the last photo, but it begs to be a little sharper, IMO. Only you can decide if you are willing to lose many such nice compositions in the quest for a unique shot.
