Anyway...looking at that photo for example the shutter speed it 1/2000 which is very short and ISO 1000 which is very high, you could have used 1/500 and then you could have used ISO ~250. Use the camera in Tv mode and select a shutter speed of about 1/400-1/500 for birds in flight photos. :happy2:

Weird! Looks OK in Safari as well for me. Thanks for the advice - I'll give it a go next time. I wish I'd started 20 years ago with this photography lark!

Viewed on latest Safari on my Mac, there is a bluish tinge to some parts but the wing's secondary feathers are pure white and any blue is tending to look like blue sky reflections on the water.
But Rich is right: All photography is a balance between aperture and speed, with ISO rating thrown in to help it where needed. So, in this case, you can afford to reduce some of your settings in order to achieve a better balance. Each setting delivers different properties.
You're doing very well, PND, in my opinion and it's more important to get the shot and enjoy it.

Cheers Robin. I certainly am not claiming to be anything but the lowliest of amateurs at the moment! "All the gear and no idea!" :signLOL:
I'm just very fortunate to have the perfect models right on my doorstep, well across the road anyway!
I am enjoying my new hobby very much. :happy2:

This is my take on the goose taking off shot...

....What you do have is an 'eye' for it - The ability to recognise the moment you want to capture and share or remember. Some people can have all the gear and the technical knowledge but not have 'the eye'. At least with all the gear, you have something to aspire to without being restricted by your gear.
