Can you tell us what lens and settings you used for that last picture? That would give a point to adjust from.

right now i am having a problem.. i seem to be getting very clear photos but sort of a yellow cast to them.. i must go through all the settings again and find out why i am experiencing this.. alot of settings i do not understand.. i wish i had gone to camera school when they had the classes in adult ed.. wonder if they will have them this summer.. i would go for sure.. because one wrong move here makes all the difference.. thank you.. if i get this straightened out i will go back to the settings on this pic..

Could be a white balance issue. What is your WB setting?

Sometimes you just have to reset everything to factory settings.

Photo Lady,

Focus looks good on these, but the high ISO is severely cutting detail...

yes.. i finally realized my biggest no no.. now i have to fiddle around with the camera and start from scratch because i did something somewhere that i should have left alone..lol thanks

If you mean the WB setting, you can almost always set it to "auto" and the shot will be fine. You will then have to remember to change it when the lighting is weird, such as all tungsten, or all fluorescent, for instance. I will have my "default" settings as; auto WB, auto ISO, and either manual or aperture priority. This is pretty much how I leave the camera when I'm not using it so when I pick it up, I just have a couple of things to check and I'm ready to shoot. So depending on the subject, I may need to change to aperture or shutter priority, or leave it in manual. Make it easy on yourself.

your right.. why i had to go through each and every setting and change it all was dumb.... but i think i am okay now.. i took this photo moments ago.. i also saw some eagles.. and wished i had a better zoom lens..

Already, your results are crisper,although the Buzzard shows a slight bit of either lens issue,or very slight shutter speed blurring, or possibly a very slightly missed focus
