Nice capture Beth. if you set your f stop to F8, set your ISO to auto and set your white balance to auto and use a monopod your shots like this one will come out a lot sharper. Just a suggestion. #1538076Beth OMeara July 28, 2013
Thanks so much, Arthur. I have been having trouble with getting a decent picture when shooting ducks. I will try that, (and I was frustrated because I had forgotten my tripod) #10784197David Resnikoff July 29, 2013

Did go out and try it that evening ... With the tripod, but now I have finally found my missing Monopod which will make things much easier.I started having camera problems .. so I didn't get to many #10788095
