Just starting Grey Heron, Hen Reedbeds, July 2008. Taken at 1/250 sec, ISO 1600, f5.6. NOISY!! A small sensor with ISO of 800 or more will show all the noise (i.e. the white fuzz!!). Here, guilty of trying too hard on a dark day – it doesn’t matter what you may try, taking a longrange shot on a dark day just won’t work!! Also the bird was moving. Rookie!!

It was still early days. I was trying to get the poor light over distance would make was still, it did help – but not much! As y little clump of reeds proud of the main re the hide window.
The following sequence of shots was taken using my Celestron Ultima 80 scope, a universal digiscoping adaptor and Nikon
This Grey Heron was shot at 1/15 sec, ISO 200, f5.6. It was very dull, only got any exposure as the shutter was open so long!!
Heron, same settings as previous, but switched the light settings to fluorescent!!
