Thanx to those who took the time and interest to try to help. ​Travelled out there again and this time had a bluer sky so used my CPOL and so shutter was lowered and background was nicer. I think maybe I need to do more looking at my focus options rather than single point but yes it seems...

The caterpillars have arrived UGH! They're everywhere take a step and pop another step and pop Yuck sounds like walking on bubble wrap. We have very few trees in our yard but look across either of our neighbours yards we can see trees rapidly thinning trees. When the caterpillars are so thick...

ok so had excellent big bird opportunities today when kids and I took a drive out of town today to see if bald eagles and osprey were nesting. I'd brought my CPOL because it was finally beautiful bright blue skies but ugh cloud moved in and although bright it didn't make for good lighting...

I was so excited to get home and have a look at my shots of 2 osprey pairs today but my results weren't great. I'm not sure where I went wrong and am looking for help. If I was way off in my setting choices I'd appreciate any critical opinions so I can learn and try again. I'm trying the...

I've been taking many pics lately of birds etc (my kids been hiding when they see the camera) so I have absolutely no idea when I might have messed around with my camera too much but when I viewed this it was sooooo sharp and over saturated that it looked strange on my viewfinder. I did some...

This huge monster rarely comes close unless we are waaaay back from the windows. I'm sure he knows we would rather point something else at him. I was standing back in kitchen shooting out the window at a strangely quiet red winged black bird when I heard the monsters thwap thwap of wings and...

For my photography course I have an assignment on "presentation" so presenting an image in a pleasing way showing some of the things we've learned. Since I don't have photoshop I'll be using the kids construction paper for keystroke :) I have these in 5x7 but can't decide which to present...

I didn't want to clutter up Pierro's thread so thought maybe we could start a new thread and all add our favourite equine photos I took this today and it makes me smile. I called Shylo's name and glad I had the camera all set and ready. It's pretty bad when even the horses groan when they see...

Well I looked through other posts and couldn't find an answer so I'll just ask my newbie question. I found my lens cleaning cloth has been leaving streaks on my lens. It's the perfect size to pack with me when I'm out and I'm constantly getting snow on my lens so it gets used alot. I have...

Found an ad locally and wondering if it's a good choice to start out with. Selling this professional tripod from Manfrotto of Italy. Included are a 190PRO tripod and an 804RC2 3-way head with 1 quick release mount for the camera. Everything is like new. This is a really solid tripod unit...

I am a complete amateur. I take photos because I enjoy it and for no other reason. I'm here to learn how to capture lifes moments better and just improve my skills. I enjoy seeing everyones photos from all over the world and learning from all the comments. I'm not looking to be a...

Haven't got to manual reading yet as I just got it so I have alot of reading and playing to do :) When I got home today the sun was just setting and everything had that lovely glow so I hurriedly grabbed my new camera. By the time I wrangled the box and gates the light had passed but I got a...

I've been playing with taking pictures for awhile and I'm ready to get in a bit deeper :) At the moment I have a Sony A230 with the 18-55mm lens it came with and for the quick grab point and shoot I have my faithful old Sony H9. I was considering buying new lenses for my Sony A but I've never...
