Nuthatch
Uploaded: August 17, 2008
Taken in a havily planted wood the light levels were very low. The bird stayed long enough for a burst of around 10 frames before flying away. I used a sigma 150-500 OS lens set at 500mm and 6.3, iso 1250 and still could only manage a shutter speed of 1/40th sec! Only the second outing with the new camera and lens and I'm very happy with the results so far.
Exif: F Number: 6.3, Exposure Bias Value: -0.33, ExposureTime: 1/40 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 1250, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 500.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 40D

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.
Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
