I have only found this thread now.

What an amazing place a garden can be.

There are amazing photos on the previous pages so congrats to all of you. If I now had to sit here and mention you one by one it would take me a couple of days.

Being on pension once again I have been practicing with Joans camera on the bird activity in our garden. Unfortunately , the wall by the bird feeder is rather unsightly and does not lend itself to good photography. I tried putting up a blue plastic sheet, that I use when painting, but that too is rather unsightly.

I am now going to pinch one of our sheets and try cover the wall with that.

My ultimate photo is to capture a bird in flight in perfect focus. I have been using 1/4000 of a second but still cannot seem to get them crystal sharp.

Will post some soon.

Good luck STF!

I believe we have some gurru's out there that can teach us some tricks STF.

Until then....

I did read something about the ISO setting for 'in-flight' this morning.
I will dig into it and we will try and sort on the Photograph lessons thread.

Thanks Amoli - look forward to hearing from these guru's.
