Very nice Vicki, great little wading bird. I use spot metering all the time, f/5.6 with a 1.4X, so about f/8 or lower, without the extender, ISO no higher than 400, but mostly 200, highest shutter speed for the conditions and available light, and always shoot from 7:am til 10am, don't know what your setting were.
These were shot late afternoon (between 4:00 and 5:00). All were spot metering, ISO 400, and aperture priority. I played with f stops 5.6, 7, and 11, and the shutter speeds varied accordingly at 1/1000, 1/500, and 1/250. I think the 200 ISO would have been better, and now can't remember what my rationale was for the higher setting. Little by little, I'm learning to pay closer attention to the settings and how they work together.
Thanks for the advice. I really value your opinion.
