A gray morning outdoors this morning made for challenging photography conditions. The key to making usable wildlife shots in dim lighting is to make the main subject (i.e. catbird) just as bright as it would be on a sunny afternoon. Turning the dial to "M" (manual exposure) and raising the ISO (light sensitivity of the camera) will accomplish just that.

I was excited to see the green one land by the brown one that had been posing for me. I had some struggles getting my camera to focus on both of them (and nothing all around them). The green one also kept changing branches. Glad I managed to get one.
