Anyway, I've been trying to go out as much as possible during 'golden hour' in the mornings, which right now starts around 6:40AM EST, and trying to get the light coming in through the trees and creating some good shadows.

Weirdly, lately I've been thinking about aperture priority and auto ISO (APAI) as an ideal bird setup. This is a fix for the conventional manual and auto ISO mode (MAI).Ideally, bird photography has very fast shutter speeds for complete sharpness. While a shot might look good with 1/2000th, it would also be fine with 1/2500th. Having a completely open aperture is also ideal in these situations to maximize shutter speed. At this point, the only remaining factor is ISO, which should ideally be raised for ETTR and no further.With MAI, there is a risk here, that you set the shutter speed too slow and one of two things happens. One, you hit base ISO and overexpose. Two, something very quick happens and your shutter speed isn't fast enough. The other, maybe more minor risk is that your shutter speed is too fast and you get a noisy image. To mitigate this, you must keep an eye on where your auto ISO is, and be aware of the potential for your shutter speed to be too low. You adjust shutter speed in either case. With APAI, you set your minimum shutter speed to be quite high, like 1000, so the camera starts raising ISO at this point. In excess light you'll get more speed instead of overexposing, but when it's lacking your speed will drop without you having to adjust. Even better though would be a layered setup like the spreadsheet in pic related. This alternates slowing shutter speed and raising ISO. Configuring such a setting would be a pain though and camera developers hate innovation so we'll never get this.Sorry for writing too much. Does anyone else feel this way? Would help a lot in situations with very dynamic lighting I believe. Being able to focus more on framing and composition is the ideal. Obviously in lower action moments more creative use of modes is ideal.
>>4337432ISOASS (ISO Auto Sticky Shutter) solved this problem already and is a standard feature on cameras such as the sony a7iii which has magic AF and a max acceptable ISO of 6400
>>4337433>sticky shutterwtf how does that work?
>>4337434you tell the camera "my minimum shutter speed is 1/1000" and set the auto ISO range from base to your max acceptablethe camera will always use the lowest ISO it can if that achieves your minimum shutter speed with your set aperture. if it would underexpose it continuously raises the ISO. if it would overexpose and is at the bottom of the ISO range it raises the shutter speed.most decent cameras made lately do this actually, but sony lets you put the settings on their plentiful custom buttons
>>4337438That sounds exactly the same as setting aperture priority and a minimum shutter speed, no? Letting the shutter speed be adjustable on the fly would be a nice bonus though, but it's still a manual setting to monitor and use. The shelved approach as in my pic would be would be nice: >>4337432

>>4334411>What's your method for making white skys blue?In the first place, I personally avoid taking photos of birds with just the sky as the background, regardless of color. For identification/birding purposes, sure, but artistically, I try to avoid it unless I use it for negative space or if there's something else in the photo that makes up for the blank background.
