Could have been centered in the frame a little better, maybe. Lol. The two of us should have a juried exhibit. See my recent post.

lonestranger Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 (edited) This might have been a good shot if only... the bird feeder wasn't in the way...the shutter speed was a little faster...the sun was a few hours lower in the sky so the shepherds hook wasn't casting a shadow on the bird's head....

MacMe Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 On 6/18/2021 at 1:58 PM, Seanbirds said: Warbler + autofocus. ? Inability to get the AF to focus on the bird and not on the branches is my biggest annoyance with bird photography (my current camera has no manual focus option). The only remedy I have is to AF on something the camera will allow that is about the same distance away as the bird, hold the picture button down halfway then point at the bird for the pic. Another big AF annoyance is when the bird is almost in focus and the AF decides to go as far as possible in the other direction before coming back. Why? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
