Pell, I would have said almost everything Linthicum did, to improve your stop motion shots, except one. I almost never have enough light to shoot at 1/1000 of a second. We are now at the twelfth consecutive day of intermittent showers and heavy cloud cover. Most of the pictures I shot today, during a break between showers, were shot at at 1/100 sec. @ F 3.6. Under such poor light conditions there is no hope of taking a good crisp shot, of a moving target. This shot is the best of three, I accidentally caught of a Jay in flight, with the camera set to shoot bursts of 3 shots. Can't stop the motion with such a slow shutter speed.

Linthicum, as usual your pictures are superb.
