Maybe a better option than trap is to prefocus on a specific spot, use manual metering or an eyepiece blind with AE, then fire the shutter with a remote. Using this method, you can concentrate on composition and estimating when the bird is in focus - the digital advantage of instant review coming to the fore. m ----------------------------------------- Email sent from www.ntlworld.com Virus-checked using McAfee(R) Software Visit www.ntlworld.com/security for more information -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
