Canon Birds / Birds in Flight Photography in Low Light Conditions

| Grey Heron in Flight Table Bay Nature Reserve |
I was greeted this morning with wet and foggy conditions...
What a miserable morning! I almost turned around due to the depressing low light. But, decided to give my kit a low light workout – working with lower shutter speeds on the birds in flight – with the objective in bringing the Auto-ISO one to two stops down for compensating for the probable high noise conditions.
I was very surprised with the abundance of birds and could manage a few bird images worth sharing.
