Hello again!
While I was inside the house today, my dad spotted what we thought was a hawk outside. I figured this would be a great chance to try out my 55-200mm lens, as I hadn't used it yet. So i ran upstairs, unwrapped it, and quickly ran outside. After chasing him around the yard a bit, he settled in a tree. Low and behold, it wasn't a hawk, but an owl! Stupidly, I hadn't even checked the settings on my camera and shot a few immediately. When I looked down to actually make some adjustments, he flew away Here is the best one I got, with a crop and some minor editing (I am by no means proud of this, I just need advice!). I know its noisy but I'd like to see what I should have taken shot this at (I'm hoping he comes back tomorrow).
Nikon D3100
Manual
200mm ISO 800
1/160 and f/22
Since I hadn't used the lens yet, I didn't even think to switch VR on.
What do y'all think? After thinking about it, I thought probably a much bigger aperture and smaller shutter speed?
Thanks for the C&C!
