CommentAnother image that I took in the early morning of a Welcome Swallow who is gathering material for its nest. When I look at my setting I know that I was in manual mode and a pretty high shutter speed and think that I probably should have been in AV mode with a lower ISO and slower shutter speed to have gotten more detail in the bird? I think that I am not always in the right mode or setting and therefore end up with a lot of photos that are just not sharp enough, thoughts? Should I only be using manual mode for when the bird is moving and when it is stationary as this little fellow was and only moving his head in different directions that I should have been on AV mode and an f-stop of 5.6?
