Thank you!
While my family and I were out on a walk on an asphalted trail (in Indiana) we saw this hawk on the power lines (since they went along the trail) and we were able to get as close as we wished, as long as we moved slowly. As for when I took a picture of it, it was somewhere around 4 o’clock in the afternoon; it was a little cloudy but I was able to get the sky to be blue in the edit (The bellow picture is the original). The reason why I have never been able to get a good picture of a hawk or falcon before was any one of these reasons: it was too far or too dark or too much branches were in the way or if it was in a good position for a picture as soon as he would see me he would fly away. Anyways the camera that I used (and am still using) was a point-and-shoot Kodak camera. Here are the settings I used:
ISO: 80
Metering made: spot
Exposure bias: 0
Exposure time: 1/200 sec
The focal length I think was either 830mm or 720mm (since my camera has what some people call a super-zoom lens which starts from 24mm but has 40 optical zoom)
As for Aperture I am certain that it was like f/6.6 but when I look at the properties for the picture it says f/5.
