    This year being the lake is mostly frozen the large eagle population has resorted to feeding on the Canadian geese as they cannot fish easily here a juvenile gets the snow geese excited

    The moon was up in the sky and I was eyeballing it, then some eagles sent the snow geese skyward - it was pretty neat - getting several different shots

    Where do you draw the line with editing?

    This is a good point, not always does noise distract, hence the "add noise" tool - I will carefully say I think the modern photographer chases perfect sharpness and perfection everywhere within images a little aggressively. I feel like I am just now getting somewhat consistent results as I...

    I want to make a final point - I hope that I was not out of place in my suggestions to try software. It is not for everyone and I want to point out I very much respect your desire to take a low ISO photo as apposed to correcting a high ISO image. That is ideal without doubt Without the addition...

    New here from Romania.

    One of the truest statements for sure - I owned Canon point and shots loved them - I even have the greatest customer service story for Canon you could ask for. Using the "see how it feels in your hand" mantra the Canon DSLR's just did not feel good at all - the Nikon's did so that's what I...
