The chickadee was relatively low shutter speed too 1/350 Sec. So it clearly shows that this is changing everything. Maybe now I can concentrate on exposure compensation and the other 15 things I need to juggle. -

I had some more mild successes today. I finally was able to get close to some birds, but I noticed that the IQ was much improved with just this little change. I did up to f6.7 as well. Unfortunately as is common here in Mich the lighting was crap and I had to use ISO 800. I did get close to a... -

The Center focus Point Adjustment has been a really big deal!! I have not really got close enough to get any sharp shots yet but I have noticed that even if say the bird only takes up 25% of the photo space it is noticeably sharper. I did get this female cardinal that is okay but a big... -

Yeah your right going to have to become one with the manual focus. Just hard to hold the end of the lens and turn that GD ring on the lens. Amazing photos btw considering those conditions! Amazing! -

:-O Oh man no pressure right! He is who I got the idea to use AI Servo. In his book, The Art of Bird Photography he mentions that he did not start getting good shots of Warblers until he took a friends suggestion and switched to AI Servo mode. -

Well I tested the lens out on some static objects tripod mounted and the images look pretty sharp. Thanks for all of the ideas for testing the lens and camera further. I suspect it was my fault all along though because I have had some hits, just not getting the higher hit rates I am after. -

Okay thanks for clearing that up for me and sorry for not calling them focus points. I took a shot where I moved the focus point to the center and then used ZoomBrowser EX to view the shot and sure enough the center focus point is a red hollow box while the other points are black like your... -

Well in that case the focus is on 9 points. 8 points on the outside and 1 point in the center of points that form a Diamond shape. Sorry for my ignorance, I guess I really look like a fool. I have not used this feature. -

The thing is this is not a static subject. Were talking moving warblers hopping about 10 feet in front of me. I use AV mode and so I usually have the f stop at 6.7 or above and in the most recent circumstance the subjects were giving me 1/2000 sec shutter speed suggestions. The subject was a... -

No problem the advice is appreciated. Not trying to be rude when I said 1-2 year photographers, I just guessed those would be the ones with enough experience to help here, but obviously I was very wrong. I just through in the evaluative metering in case it had some bearing on the issue as a... -

Actually want to hear from any experienced photographers or any photographers who have had success, thanks! How many snaps does it take to get a sharp shot? I have been having this problem where I will take about 2-3 gigs worth of shots and maybe 1 will be slightly okay this is probably due...
