Little critters that live in the snow... :-)


Nice DOF on the bird shots. What speed/shutter combi was that?

The cardinal was at f 6.7 / 1/80th of a sec, the others were at 150/sec f 8 - f 11... Since the the 1.7x adapter translates the aperture info to reflect the impact of the Teleconverter, I think the recorded apertures have also been adjusted. So the lens was set at f 4 for the f6.7 shot, etc.


With the relatively show X-Synch speed and fast minimum ISO, I can see needing a neutral density filter on the lens when birding. I'd like to shoot at f 6.7 - f8 for everything, but the flash and bright light and ISO 200, may require stopping down more (or trying the flash in high speed mode.)
