•  Support Charles, how do you usually take such clear pictures of flying birds? My shots of flying hawks are usually very posterized, even at a reasonable range, ISO, and shutter speed. ― Gerifalte _Del Sabana 01:25, 2 April 2020 (UTC)

• Sorry, I can't see any flying birds in your gallery. It can help if you get birds near the ground - the caracara comes down a lot to feed, not like an eagle. I used a monopod for this one and tracked it as it flew towards me. I thought posterization comes from post-processing, so good light/camera settings are vital. So if I'm tracking a bird I wait till it passes a bit of blue sky. I adjusted colour balance and lightened the underwing shadows in RAW. I used Topaz Denoise AI then Topaz Sharpen AI.
