Great pic - and worth the wait!

This is not one of mine - but I think it is an amazing bird pic too....

Ahhh the lesser known spinning-headed sparrow.

Brilliant pic!!!

Does it do a good projectile vomit too?

Cracking photo - now we can see it! Good depth of field' date=' pity the subject's looking down though

It's looking at a white square with a red cross in it..................

Good shot Taz, here's some of my recent wildlife shots. Taken a couple of weeks ago in Filey...

Cool squirrel pics.

I'll dig some of mine out when I get home.......

(I mean pictures, not squirrels!!!!)

........oh you've done it now.......stand by to be bored to death !!!

Thanks for the comments

I prefer red squirels......not overcooked though they go a little tough:eek:

The first ever wildlife i photographed:

Unfortunately, none of them where planned, and i'm crap at taking photos. I have just ordered a book on how to take good digital camera photos, as i want to get practising before junior arrives in August.

Those photo's are fine,

I find photography somewhat of a black art, that red squirrel pic is not bad, but when you consider I came away from Formby Point with 93 pics I suppose I should have got a good one.

Which book have you ordered? most of mine are film based books.

This is the book:

Shooting Digital: Pro Tips for Taking Great Pictures with Your Digital Camera...,

I much prefer to get mine right from the 'off' rather than tweeking in photoshop. You can't do it with film photography. I only use photoshop to crop them to a better size.

Nice pics peeps.

My personal fav wildlife pic ive taken..

Ok it was in a Zoo, make a good caption competition that one..lol

I agree, if I go out specifically I shoot RAW photo's and adjust exposure, etc as you could with film at the development stage then crop it and leave it alone, Photoshop can be useful but there is nothing more satisfying than nailing the shot you want.

Hey it's my brother I've just seen

Love the meercats.....I've got some but they're from behind glass so not brilliant ! :thumbdwn:

Couple from my collection.......straight from the camera, not even cropped. I've only had the camera a few months. Just starting out photography-wise and getting better all the time (well I think so anyway :P )

I feel a Briskoda Drive through a Safari Park coming on

Nice pics

Taz

Oooh what a good idea. I've never been to a safari park.

Very good mate, particularly like the middle one. Are those the full-res images yo uploaded here, or do you have bigger versions available?

My attempt at wildlife on the first day of owning my Nikon D50 at Whipsenade zoo:

The 2nd and 3rd are from behind glass so could've been better.

Your post is very topical (to me) re the second photo as I've just bought a stainless steel CD holder in the shape of a salamander. Not sure what species your second photo depicts, but wonder if it likes listening to music...

I always like looking at piccies here to be amazed at the quality and clarity It's a Mo thing.
