    To be honest i did what i could with most of them as i used manual on about 90% & they were dark i fiddled with the settings all morning & pointing into the sun for the trees one i tried what i could as the sky was bleached out on it tonal mapping is what i messed with on that one & a couple of others to try to define a bit of the dark coats of the cattle Get yourself to a photography class young lady, and learn how to do it properly You have a real talent for seeing a good shot and you should really pull out some stunning images when you learn a little more about what se

    Quality shots, as usual!

    Why on earth would you want the mist to lift? I've been waiting weeks for a misty morning, and preferably with a touch of frost... They are nice shots but the sun is rather burnt out... get yourself some ND grad filters (square type, Cokin or similar) and you'll find you can balance the exposure a bit better. And enjoy those misty mornings, layers of distant hills fading into the mist, trees receding into the fog and casting shadows and rays of light. Lovely stuff

    You won't go far wrong with a D90 - the other 2 models you mentioned are okay, but I think you'll find the D90 is slightly more durable and you shouldn't need to upgrade it for a while yet. Romany - I'd have a play with a D700 if you get the chance... the image quality is excellent, and you can afford to crop quite heavily if necessary and still have an excellent image. Not sure what the frame rate is but it sounds like a machine gun going off and makes my 5D2 seem like it's going backwards... I'm still happy with my Canon though, and resisting all urges to use the Nikon

    Don't forget the crop factor when you're taking focal length/shutter speed into consideration... Sure, the physical focal length of the lens doesn't actually change, but it will magnify any shakiness a bit more. It's understandable, we all get a bit wobbly with age... try a faster shutter speed or rest the camera on your zimmer frame.

    Shoot the reds with your camera, the greys with your gun
  13. MuttleMcTuttle
    Good one
  14. MuttleMcTuttle
    The last one is pretty sharp and the fur detail is good no.3 is a nice natural shot but the others are suffering from camera shake or crap lens syndrome... Plus they're vermin, get your butt over to Formby and shoot some reds

    Oh my... you're getting a bit good at this! the last shot is a winner for me, but it depends on the subject of the competition. Half the battle is selecting the right pic for the job... Good luck and thanks for posting such lovely pics!

    Very nice I like the light catching the mist in the first one. You could add a touch of contrast to the frosty leaves, would give the pic a little more impact and definition.
  17. MuttleMcTuttle
    looking good

    Depends what software you use, but somewhere there should be an option to resize your pics, or a "save for web" or email option? If you have no photo editing software you should be able to find a resize option in microsoft Paint. Make the pic about 800 pixels wide at 72 ppi and it should be fine. Save it as a copy though, and keep the original full size. Hope this helps.

    Excellent shots you have some very pretty birds in your garden
  20. MuttleMcTuttle
    Nice shots. pity you chopped the top off the moorhen's wings though...
  21. MuttleMcTuttle
    Lovely shots great pics on your website too
  22. MuttleMcTuttle
    I like the last robin shot - he looks very fluffed up!
  23. MuttleMcTuttle
    Not with that sigma lense you wont Might with photoshop though...
  24. MuttleMcTuttle
    tis a good shot I love the cardinal and bluejay pics on flickr too - you certainly have some colourful birds!

    Hmmm I'd say "it's not what you've got, it's how you use it..." but... for wildlife photography you will probably need a slightly longer lens or master the art of sneaking up on things! 70-300 is a good size and relatively good value compared to a prime lens. Does the Sony have image stabilising built in? That should help cut out some of the camera shake when using a longer lens, but still bear in mind that your shutter speed will still need to be fairly fast - at least 1/250th of a second if the subject is moving as well. Alternatively, use a tripod and track a moving subject. that wi
