So, scratch that ID. Apparently, this bird is a Hudsonian Whimbrel. So, scratch that ID.

The ISO probably did not have to be at 400, as evidenced by the high shutter speeds. The beach vista one needed a smaller f-stop to get everything in focus, so perhaps cranking up the ISO to get that aperture without dropping the shutter below the camera shake threshold for that zoom level was probably justified. However, Sandpiper 2 could have been done at a much lower shutter speed, and probably would have benefited from a wider aperture considering the single subject. This would have allowed a lower ISO, and hence, lower sensor noise. Overall I think they turned out well, but I'm making notes for next time to keep the ISO to the minimum required to maintain proper exposure at the desired aperture and shutter speed.

Now if only I were better at exposure... I'm getting there I think.<br/><br/>I appreciate the feedback. I get lots of site hits and no comments, its nice to know that people enjoy what I'm doing.
