Great information that we can all learn from!!!


Thanks for the input. I changed it ev to 0 when I realize it was at 1/3. I did not see sharpness was set on soft. Will change that for sure.
as far as the shutter speed I try ed to keep it fast so when they did some displays or took off I was ready. I missed some shots the day before . Anyhow thank you for your input jim

Why would I have a lot of noise at iso 400. I was staying under exposed because of the white snow and white swans. Do you think being under exposed could be the problem ? Thanks jim

Looking for an answer to why these pictures are so grainy. When I blow them up and print them they look very poor. I am using a Nikon d 300 with a 70- 300 zoom with the av on and off. I was sitting on a snow machine so I was very steady. I shot in both program and manual mode. I also shot in raw and fine jpeg. thanks for any suggestions.


Swan pic 3 is 5.05 mp and has not been cropped. The raw images were around 10 mp and seem to have the same problem.It was cloudy out so i used iso 400 to get a faster speed. I think you should be able to open the picture an see all the shooting info. I tried to put up the raw shot but it is to big.The first pic swan #2 has been cropped and was not the pic I wanted to put up.
Here is a few more pictures with the same problem.

swan # 4 5.91 mp


swan # 5 4.81 mp


swan 6 3.87 mp

Very, very well done! Perfect exposure and focus.You might want a little tone correction to gt rid of the blue cast. Congrats on the correct species ID, too!


Thanks, I went to your flicker page and I'm very impressed with your stuff. I'm a pretty avid birder so a Trumpeter swan is an easy one. Of coarse I did label a Tundra Swan a Trumpeter Swan on my Facebook page last spring. Anyhow thanks.
