5 This was more of a test shot. I was set for BIF 1/1000th when the Swallow landed in a shady spot. I have my auto-iso set to a max of 6400 and I was shooting at +.7 EC I think. I noticed my ISO was maxed out so I wanted to see what I could pull out at an ISO that high. I used a background noise reduction. Less on the body and none on the head...
What? ISO 6400 on a crop sensor? by krisinct- Thanks for 1 Million + views!, on Flickr

You really take some great snowy egret shots. #1&#2 are outstanding.
I found one of these yesterday evening and tried taking a decent shot for half an hour, just couldn't expose the bird properly. I remember you said spot metering, but it just didn't work out .

All great as usual. But I have to agree with John.

Beautiful in flight shots Kris and really like those Grackles you have. Finely held whites on the Egrets and a great reflection as well. Amazed with the Swallow at ISO 6400 !!, very nicely processed and the head is still showing those details.

All the best Kris, top shots as always.
