5. "you should try to use Partial Metering, Center-weighted Metering, or Spot Metering when the light contrast on the warbler and the bg is huge because xxxxxxx."
6. "you should try to learn Ninja skill before approaching a Kingfisher, rather than crop the bejesus out of the photo to enlarge it in the frame because ...."
6. "you should try to walk zigzag when approaching an osprey because...."
