My first "good" shot

I just broke into photography recently and am still learning lots.
Grabbed a shot of this Redwing Blackbird

Nice catch! They are very difficult to get a pic of because they really like to move around. Good job.

They're frantic with family life now and so tough to grab. Bravo!

Nice catch. Now your hooked, huh? You have embarked on a wonderful journey. Enjoy it, there are countless opportunities out there.

Great shot, it's fascinating to capture BIF takes a lot of practice.

Great first image.

What were your settings?

I would suggest changing your exposure metering mode to either spot or centre weighted average. This will help the camera meter for the subject and not the whole scene.

I used my 50-200 mm Nikkor lens on sports. I'm still learning my 70-300 manual lens and ISO, shutter speed and aperture and it has been a challenge so I used what worked in the moment!
