Hmm...well...I suppose the only problem presented by high wind is that the subject might tend to move around more and faster. Check to be sure your camera is selecting a shutter speed of at least 1/100 sec. Adjust your ISO upward....or go shutter priority and select a speed that will freeze any action. If you can get 1/250 sec, that should handle just about any movement.
Without getting technical, click over to the little 'running man' mode. It is designed to stop action, and with the type of shot your taking, depth of field isn't a factor.
In any mode I would stay at 1/250th or above, and if you aren't getting that increase your ASA (ISO).
Thanks you guys...I'll give it a go....lol might be the answer is....wait til the wind dies down. :)
I'm with Eagleye,
Use the auto setting with the running figure..I use this setting just about every time. especially with the grandkids...you know how well they sit still...
Mums
I guess it depends what you want to do. If you want a clean sharp image then what's been said is good advice.
What I think of when I see brances moving is about how I can get a sense of that movement in the picture. Sometimes it's interesting to go against the grain and slow the shutter speed down. The challenge is to get the camera to stay still so the trunk of tree is sharp but the branches show movement.
