Woodbridge Island from Arnhem, Milnerton
Here down in the South of Africa (Milnerton, Cape Town) we have an advantage of very good morning light during our summer season. Above image was captured between 06:00 - 06:30 in the morning. For birds in flight photography I apply high Shutter Speeds (1/2500 - 1/3200) and Auto-ISO (handheld) and the average ISO's during most mornings are between ISO 400 - 800 (depending on the background colour and / or the colour of the bird).
Vernon Chalmers Photography Training Genres
The early morning light is exquisite for birds / birds in flight photography, landscape / seascape photography and close-up / macro photography. The wind may have an effect on 1:1 macro subjects, but generally the wind picks-up after 10:00 (but could be blowing slightly already early-morning). More
