I was doing a bit of volunteer work on the island and got some really great bird pics.

This is just a small selection

Good action pics. what equipment are you using?

[fenderbelly]

Nikon D40X with a 55-200 lens.

[jow104]

Good quality pics. Did you have to sharpen? or is there any other manipulation?

[fenderbelly]

I just take the photograph and thats it, i'm not into those fancy programmes where you dont end up with the picture that you took.

Cropping is the only thing i know how to do really.

[jow104]

Fair enough. Nothing wrong with that.

But do you use Paint Shop Pro. its one of the imaging programs I have used for years?

[fenderbelly]

no, my son gave me a copy and i couldnt understand it.im still trying to work out the camera.hahahahaha

[jow104]

I know what you mean, I got a new camera this year and practically running on auto the whole time.

[fenderbelly]

i try taking a photo using each setting and then when i look at them i dont know what the setting was.i now have a free download programme called opanda exif which is a help as it shows the setting used such as ISO
F number and exposure. its just so much to learn on top of everything else.

i should have bought the camera when i was younger and now when im in a position to have one i dont really have the time to learn how to use it properly.

I thought once i retired life would slow down but what with gardening,photgraphy and trying to get the shed sorted i struggle to even find time to go fishing and i only live 100 metres from the sea but i wouldn't swap it for quids.
