Opportunities to shoot from watercraft, trains, etc, apparently present counter-intuitive settings. The boat was moving 5-10 knots when I spotted a cormorant on a stump. I thought 1/1000 sec @ f/5.6 should be okay. It wasn’t. The bird was moving on the stump as the boat passed by. With camera and cormorant moving at the same time, the resulting image is soft, lacking detail in the feathers. The stump is sharp, bird is not. They are in the same focal plane. Would shooting @ 1/2000-3200 sec or higher give a better detailed image?
