Jalal - I think you are better off shooting in TAv mode. Let the ISO float up to whatever you are happy with as a max (I used 1,600 on the K5). Pigeons are very fast flyers and you'd normally need more than 1/800 to catch them sharp, try 1/1600 to start with perhaps.

Thanks mate. I took a few shots today with TAv mode. The weather was so cloudy that ISO went to 5000 while shutter speed was 1250 (f5.6). Hence I set ISO max 3200. But then some shots came under exposed. Here the best picture (compared to all other noisy pictures) of today. I am not good at Photoshop and very new to DSLR terms so I don't know how poor/good my editing is lol. Jalal - I think you are better off shooting in TAv mode.
