I was trying to explain in a Beginning Photographers Facebook group (please, don't judge me) that it doesn't matter what your cameras setting are because you can get a good exposure by either adding or subtracting light.
This was in response to a post asking why their photos weren't coming out with these settings.
f/22 - 1/4000 - ISO 6400
I might try this again using settings that are a bit out of norm.
We were hiking in the rainforest of Southeast Alaska. Eagles were EVERYWHERE, though at a long distance, along this creek looking for salmon.
This little bird is a hybrid of a Peregrine Falcon, the fastest bird and the fastest animal in all of creation, and a Gyrfalcon.
I took this shot at The Raptor Foundation where do much work in rescuing all types of Raptors. Many are returned to the wild though many are not native to Britain, they cannot be released.

This was a good post, Dean. Also, great advice. Enjoyed this image!
I just came online to delete this post as I reflect on it, I'm "Preaching to the Choir", thus, irrelevant.
No way! I like reading these types of story posts. It's always interesting to hear what's going on in other photographer lives.
I am currently asking myself why ANYONE would consciously select those settings unless purposely trying to add noise to the image.
Nice image BTW!
