BIF - settings with D4s

[Frode]

BIF settings: 1/3200s f/8 auto-iso, aperture priority, 9pt center AFC or 25pt center AFC for newer cams D5, etc.. handheld is preferable, center weighted average metering.

Thanks Bob  !

What focus tracking with lock- on setting do you use?

turn it off. it just adds delay

Consider it done  .

Thanks!

on my D5 my auto-iso max is usually 5000=ISO... so with aperture priority at times you could run slower shutter speeds. 1/2000s is adequate but may not freeze wingtips at times..  higher the better

1/3200s

Bob, outstanding images!

Unfortunately the link is just rather small jpg files, the file you have posted earlier have shown the details much better.

Great pictures, Bob!

Impressive how you manage to nail focus!

Looks like f/2.8 sometimes might be enough for portraits, bit With BIF I've got to change my practice; blend down .

Thanks once again.

yes... true enough... in fact the one that i posted at 1/1250s in my opinion looks more interesting that way...

the point is having the control to apply the appropriate technique to achieve the desired end product
