[ortega]

try to use Av and flash set to slow sync
i don't know if this works on your camera

Sorry, I disappeared to meditate in the caves and mountains to reach the next level of photography. This is the result.

BREAKFAST in the Jungle........


This Bulbul is enjoying a ripe papaya. I was not able to get a clear view. Just manage to squeeze in with a bit of blockage on the bottom. Photo was cropped.

Thanks Canew.

caught this golden plover getting his lunch (earthworm). Funny thing is that it washes the worm before consuming it thus making the ripple. Sorry had to post 2 photo to show during washing and after washing.

Great catch! The face of the bird in both pics are a bit dark ... But, great shots nonetheless! :thumbsup:

I was concentrating on the ripple as I mention earlier. on my monitor, its looks just a tad under for the bird. I will lost the effect of the ripple if its too bright.

Thanks guy for the comments. It was not easy to shoot these guys in unfavourable light condition these days due to haze.

this is a good shot

a little PS should do the trick

ok, leting my tele rest. going for some super wide. this is the virgin shots from my new Canon 10-22mm

tilted horizon, if you want to slant go closer to your subject
and make the slant part of your composition,
lighted buildings on left/right are too bright and dose not serve any purpose
use ps to darken it

with ultra wides you can (should) go closer to your subject
and use the extra distorted perspective to your advantage
it can/will enhance the sense of depth.

Thanks for the tips Sifu. Ya, the building does distract now that you mention that. I'm already really close and only shoot without viewing through the viewfinder... put camera on ground and fire off. will bring along my angle finder for better composition.

took this some time back... trying some backlight but failed.
