PINNACLE 2,297 Posted August 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 Same question What camera ,and shutter speed , brilliant photo Dave Camera Canon 1Div and 70-300L. Sold some guns and bought a camera Thanks for all the comments. These are such stunning creatures and worth watching and trying to take pictures of if you get a chance. If you want to try these first thing is to bin auto focus. Manual focus is the only way imo, takes a bit of practice, I also set the camera to manual with about f10 and 1/1000-1/1600 shutter speed ISO as low as I can go but hovers around 800-1000 so I use a flash as a boost. I don't use fast frames per second as the flash won't charge so just one at a time. Average 1 in 10 on a good day 1 in 100+ on a bad day, today was bad with nothing. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
