Blurry Wing Tips – Is It Shutter Speed Or Depth Of Field?
Bird photographers like to know why certain elements of their images are soft (blurry) when others are not because it helps them to evaluate their settings and technique.

The sturdy, broad-winged buteos tend to be large raptors with correspondingly slower movements than most smaller birds.
