This Is Too Much Fun

Still practicing, and having a lot of fun learning the D200. Since the light is not all that good where I'm shooting, it has become a good lesson for getting the proper exposure. I hope you enjoy this little bird experiment.

This was a friendly little bird

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Splendid captures, William, as were the ones in your new-camera thread. The camera seems to be working very well for you. Extremely fast focus I take it. You're getting some amazing stop-action photography there. I look forward to seeing more.

    Thanks Joel, so far I'm very pleased with the camera, not as fast as the D2H, but it's great for me. The little birds move so fast, I'm amazed the camera can keep up with the action, or even me for that matter.

    So I guess the goldfinches are getting used to you, huh? I know how difficult it must be to get such good shots w/an inferior piece of equipment, but you seem to be overcoming your handicap quite well! rolleyes1.gif
