I was so pleased with this. I was willing them hard to stay put until I could get the camera out and up.
If I slowed down to adjust the settings (even if I knew what I was trying to do), I’m sure they’d be long gone. It’s an interesting idea presetting a profile though, something I’ve never done. I’ll have to do that and experiment on some swifts.
Children whether on recess or in a swimming pool always shriek, and it sounds the same to me no matter their base language. I admit that at my now advanced age I find this sound annoying. I question what could they have that is so important to communicate, and at such high volume? It reminds me, though at much lower volume, of a "Beyond the Fringe" skit about boring conversation down in the mine: "Oh, look, I've got hold of a great lump of coal" "Jolly good, the very thing we're looking for!"
1 hour agoSuper terrific Bee Eater shots!!
iA doesn't know you are shooting a potentially fast moving bird. Probably there was enough light to have set a fast shutter speed on S. But I, anyway, never think of this. One approach is to use the "C" setting, and create a fast bird profile there.
I’m actually more interested in function but it’s great when you get both and it matches your shirt and even better when it’s cheap!

2 days agoYes, it is. It’s all brickwork, I think. We’re seeing a lot of brick in this region. Those water tanks are another example.

Interesting. I’m quite sound sensitive and have trouble with many sounds I can’t filter out - particularly mechanical and droning ones - but this one never troubles me. I find it therapeutic, even into the night.
