Aggressive attempt with Sony HX300... 1 sec exposure to get it near base ISO....I need to see how it can shine... I love budget birding!

Bro,what ISO did u managed to get at best?
I was shooting when it was under the shaded area,the lighting is quite challenging and had to rely on MF for more precise focus.
I was also trying out aggressive settings after getting some record shots.
Aperture between F8-11,ISO between 160-250 and S/S between 0.4-1/8sec.
1 sec seems really a challenge as i already felt my S/S was way too slow.
U are good man.

Here is a shot of the Laced Woodpecker Drilling, the irony is that it was drilling where the drilling equipment was placed for the public housing development
