Hi bro Les

a pity i could not get rid of the barb wire or getting her to move a little to the right or away from the protruding sharp point, hopefully next time, :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:
Yes I was shooting at a very very high iso of 1600 but honestly it looked better directly off from camera to computer than it is here after uploading to Photobucket and to this site. Quite disappointing actually.
Any suggestion bro? :go-around: :go-around: :go-around:

i can suggest to use a tripod and shoot at lower speeds.

i shoot mainly iso 200 or 400(a550), rarely 1600 unless subject is close as may be in your case or if there is no other way to get a shot. i don't usually use the steady shot with the tripod or even handheld a well, for me the sss does not get good results. maybe just my sss got problem. :D

from my experience, you can shoot at 1/30 to 1/60 if you have a tripod with 400mm tp 560mm(+1.4tc) focal length so give it a try. you will likely have to delete a high percentage of shots as well in the begining but as you practice more , you will get more keepers.

lastly, a remote control shutter release can also be a very good asset if object is stationary. this can be used for speeds as low as 1/30. and if you have mirror lock up.........right down to 1/5 for 600mm(seen it done in the forest before with very good results, nikon brand though!!)

maybe photobucket is not as good as others but i am not familiar, you could try other competitor site, i use photobucket as well.

anyway nevermind if it looks good on your screen and if you are happy(or not) with it, just enjoy yourself. more beautiful pics will come soon enough! :cheer:

hi les

Again Thank You for the advise and will practice more, a tripod does come handy indeed. The shot had to be at higher ISO :cry: coz of the dark clouds as it was actually about to pour down, around here, it happens most of the time.

Well it's practice practice and more practice :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

Cheers brother...
