Educational topics - Feeder Birds

[JWellman]

Thanks so much to those who answered my questions in a previous thread. I've printed all the information and was so grateful to get answers that were easy for me to understand. :thumbup:

It is finally snowing so I'm hoping to play a little today with what I was told in the snow topic/question.

Attached you will see a few I took last week. I've been practicing more at the feeder so I can try to get a grip on what I'm doing. Composition is not my main focus, obviously. I think they are getting a little better but still not where I want them.

Practice consists of turning off the heat in the house, opening the bedroom window and snapping photos. Since I can't see the viewfinder very well, I periodically stop to check my work on the computer screen. Thank goodness I closed the door to my bedroom (to isolate the cold) because when I returned a Cardinal was enjoying the comfort of my nice warm bed! :blushing: :mrgreen:

Thanks again everyone...you're such an awesome group!

I have no idea how to make them anymore focused. I don't know what I'm doing wrong really.

The first one looks slightly out of focus however I do like the composition.
The second one is great, in my opinion, I love the detail.

Thanks ayeelkay... I'm seriously thinking about renting a couple of different lenses for a few days to see if there is any difference. I'm trying and trying with this one and have no idea what else to do.

What focus point are you using? Try the center point focus point and aim for the eyes. Photos are looking good.
