I got a new camera!!! Peafowl photos!

Ooh Zazouse I love those photos! Thanks for the tips, I have noticed that zooming in a lot does cause the photos to get a little blurry.

Thank you MinxFox and your welcome.

Get a little trypod the closer the shot the steadyer the camera has to be or you will get a blur from the slightest movment of the camera no matter how in focus your shot is.

My camera has an image stabilizer and that helps, but I probably do need to find our tripod and use it.

 

[zazouse]

Mine had that also but it's not much help on a close up like macro photography.

Whats great about digital is if the photo does not come out good ya don't have to buy more film. ya just delete and try again

Hi Alea,
Happy Birthday, plus Happy New Year

Do your new camera have parts for "freeze" the fast-flying mallard drake ???

Ducks and pheasants and budgies have fast wing beats, need a good camera to "freeze" the movements.

Why not try on wild mallard in flight ? as they are not wary and can be approachable.

Approachable birds:

Mallard
Pigeon.

Clinton.
