Some Tufted Ducks on a lovely afternoon
Need some more practice with birds in flight
And the Tufted Ducks photos were not much better
but they were a long way away. Genuine excuse.
I was really surprised at the lack of seagulls on the Res and they were
in the middle of the Reservoir out of photo range. And the tufted
ducks were the only ducks on the lake. There was quite a few people
walking around the Res and it was very muddy with large puddles
And most of the people didn't have the correct footware on, trainers
and the like. Still the sun was shining and it was quite warm and i enjoyed
myself.
Lovely photos ILR, and those of the black headed gull in flight are good.
You may find two things help with image clarity (and those of the BHG's are clear) is to zoom out and use spot focusing.
The tufted ducks on the water can be challenging for any photographer, water can detract from autofocus, along with the light reflecting from the water. That's why many compacts and smart phones have a snow/water/window setting to let the AF know what it's up against.
I think to you can take a well earned pat on the back for those photos.
i love robins said:Thanks Mike for the encouragement, I suppose I am my worst critic ?
Your welcome.
There' s no harm in constructive criticism, so long as you don't beat yourself up.
