7 - Preselect your camera settings. There’s nothing more frustrating than grabbing your camera in a hurry and getting that perfect shot…. until you see that you were at ISO 1600, f22, 1/30 sec. Crap! If you know you’re going out to shoot birds, make sure you settings are set before you leave. Here are my default settings: ISO 400, Aperture priority set wide open (lowest f-stop #), -1 EV. These settings are to ensure that I have the highest shutter speed possible. With those settings, all I need to play with after that is my ISO depending on Mother Nature’s mood.

Oh boy, is this ever true. I have lots of trees around my house, so we have never had bluebirds here until this year! I sat out there on a bench and finally got some shots. ISO was set at 3200 from some indoor, low light stuff from last week which is when I had my camera out last
