Finally, Shot Some Mallards in the Air
Apr 3, 2012 12:21:35 #
I was down at the pond again today to practice getting shots of mallards in motion. Finally some decent shots of a couple of mallards in the air. These pics are cropped and sharpened.
sony a33, 75-300mm lens
What is the lowest shutter speed I can use and still get a good action shot of a bird in flight?

These turned out great. The lowest shutter speed that I use to catch action is 1500, but I'm no expert. I have been able to go as low as 1000, if I'm not zoomed in.

Obviously 1/1600 worked pretty well for you so I'd stay there. I would have tried 1/1000 first but that's just me.
very nice shots... keep shooting.

Thanks, jimmya. Also thanks for answering my question. I struggle with getting enough light into my camera on cloudy dark days. I'll try a lower shutter speed on those days. I already increase aperture on those days and don't like getting the iso too high.
