For me that was good advice as I have both my cameras set that way. I will however change that if I'm shooting still subjects such as landscape or buildings where I will select the ISO that best suits the subject but most of the time I preset on Auto and found it works well this way. Now for your photos they look great. Very well done.

Nice shots. The Indigo Bunting is a real beauty, and one that keeps eluding me.

Thanks Bill for the comments, the forest preserve where these were taken seems to have a few, though they are territorial, have not seen to many females though.

Nature has outdone itself, with the colors of the Indigo Bunting. Hard to imagine that there are genes that naturally produce those blues. Great capture!

Thanks Gambler I took about 40 captures of this bird in different locations the sun was not quite as flattering nor the background as a contrast in the other pictures, I did tweek the lights and the darks but no saturation or even Temperature change in LR the iridescence was all the bird, we had seen other or maybe the same one earlier in the spring and he /they were still show white on their stomach and the wing bars were not so pronounced.
