A discussion on small fast bif over in general photography discussion prompted me to look back at this. I shot this a couple years ago when I first became interested in bird photography. The settings are interesting to me now...
D3 200f2 at f/4 (!) 1/5000 ISO200 spot metering 0EV (!)
21-point dynamic AF, VR-on, Auto ISO (!)
This is a little better than a 50% linear crop. Shot around noon on a bright sunny day.
Present day processing. Custom picture control to compensate for about a stop underexposure.
Oh, and the important part for me regarding small fast bif. This was the 2nd shot of a 4 shot burst, none of which had locked focus (I shoot shutter priority release).
Cheers,
