congress street bats - 06-25-2011, 10:18 AM

Critique: CC:

went to take images of the bats emerging from under the congress street bridge. Very hard to get a good shot since the light was so low and I had to guess at a focus point. any suggestion on what I could do to improve the shots? These are the best of 100 images

I like it with the buildings in the background. There was another vantage point that I seem to have seen on a thread. I hope to see that one day.

I have found that you can usually get the camera to focus on the cluster of bats if you have enough open sky behind them and you set your focus for a center weighted pattern.
