Fair comment I will take it on board. The Rainbows were taken on an overcast day under heavy cover to yeah, I should and will up the iso next time. The Muskies were in bright sunshine but very feeding well into the tree and very nervous or loathe to come out and feed around the edges in the sun, so I sat there for about half an hour and these were about the best I could do. I never use flash when shooting animals and/or birds to avoid startling or blinding (temporarily) the subjects.Nice shots. One thing. It appears you were shooting in dark conditions and then had to raise the brightness when you edited. That leaves the pictures looking exposed improperly. The colors are saturated but washed out. Can you shoot with a higher ISO to begin with? Can you use flash?
I'm learning all the time I'll give all suggestions a try and see how I go.G'day mate
I also like shooting pics of the same birds - and it's damn difficult at times !
The little blighters seem to see me / you / coming and move to another part of the tree so that all we seem to end up with is its bum as it moves away from us
Suggestions ...
= Set your point-of-focus in the camera to as small as you can, so that the focus point is the face of the bird, and thus avoid the camera grabbing a branch instead;
= Set the camera to 'continuous' mode and then select the best of the 3-4-5 images you view on the computer screen
= If you can, sit quietly alongside the tree and so become part of the scenery, so that the birds don't then see you as a threat and move away
= Set your exposure +/- button to +1 when shooting upwards to counteract the camera over compensating for the brightness of the sky as coming thru the upper leaves
Hope this helps
