Settings 1/640, f5.6 ISO 125 taken with 40D + 300mm 1:4 L IS by a colleague.
When viewed @ 100% the plumage is quite sharp on my screen. I never use an ISO less than 200 and I usually hope for 1/1000 as I thought that shutter speed is the best way to "freeze" a moving bird. Please tell me how you think the sharpness of this sanderling would "probably" have been affected if it had been taken with equipment & settings as above but using ISO 200 & shutter speed 1/1000. What's getting me is that my colleague who's far away consistently gets much finer plumage detail using the above settings than I do with my settings, especially when I up my ISO above 200. Explanations would be much appreciated. Thank you all.
