I'm just getting started out with Wildlife after having shot sports and racing for a number of years. Out with the 1dm2 in with the 5dm2, I captured this with a Sigma 120-300 exif data below.
I had it mounted on my monopod and was walking out to the end of my dock, He/She was flying overhead so I wasn't able to use the monopod. I'm just starting to get serious about capturing shots of wildlife. I have a Gitzo 1325 cf tripod with a Arca Swiss B1 on it that I will be using more.
I'm wondering if I should have used a higher ISO and a faster shutter speed stopped down a little.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
