Re: Post your best bird shots!
Hi,
i caught a large group of Wild Turkey in mating dance yesterday. It was first light so the exposure was a little slow, resulting in some blur on the moving parts (like feet), but it was such a cool scene that i thought you might enjoy a few images. i took about 40 shots but only a few are usable. The lesson learned here is that it's better to push the ISO and get some graininess than the try and keep it down and get really blurry shots
