Low light and motion don't mix... Not for what you're after. You need a well lit subject and a fast shutter speed... hth

I agree with Damian. What film speed (ASA setting) are you using to attempt this? A shutter speed of 1/250 sec. is needed to freeze the wing flaps of large soaring birds, and 1/500 or faster for smaller species. These speeds are possible shooting wide open in bright sun with 100 ASA, but for low light a much faster ISO setting or a fast film is the only way to achieve the required shutter speeds. (You can also try panning with the flight of the birds. You can get away with using slower shutter speeds doing this.) Also, a tripod is essential when used with a teleconverter to avoid fuzziness due to camera shake.

Low light and motion can go good together.
