Every now and then I go out birding with the 80 year old fella. He is like the energizer Bunny as he can just keep on going and going, you get what I mean.While we walk along we talk and I asked him about what his setting's are on his camera (Canon something with a 150/600mm lens).He told me he has it set on sports mode all the time. I had to think where is the same on my camera and all I could think of was the Scene Section on the top dial.About a hour of getting home he emails me with a little more information. What he told me, is the place where I thought it was is the right place.So this as I see it is basically a full Auto mode but it allows you a quicker chance to get birds in flight as he does and on a regular basis.And for an old fella this is really good, and I am not trying to make him look bad. But as we age we do tend to get slower.So I thought being armed with this info I might as well have a play and here are a few shots I got from the Scene > Sports Mode.With these shots I feel if you have a Raptor just suddenly come across your path as we do here. This could be the thing to get the shots with the least amount of thinking.[ATTACH=full]16214[/ATTACH]Baby Purple Swamphen on the move[ATTACH=full]16215[/ATTACH]Mid stride[ATTACH=full]16216[/ATTACH]Adult Purple Swamphen on the move[ATTACH=full]16217[/ATTACH]Pigeon about to take off[ATTACH=full]16218[/ATTACH]Pigeons in flight.
