Bip 88 Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 Did you say pond Caz? me mum has a foot bath bigger than that.. !rotfl! When it rains and it hasn't done much of that in two months here, at the top of our street a puddle forms, we get Canadian Geese flying in cutting short their migratory journey the odd Eider duck too, and the proverbial Mallard which is nice. I had to look twice at the pic, thought it was a grey Heron. !rotfl! Regarding your photo Caz, have a word with mick, he's the pro when it comes to getting your shots in focus and exposed correctly..or was it that you were worse for a few glasses ?????...I wonder what micks excuse is.... !rotfl!

Caz 25 Posted February 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 LOl you are such a joker BIP!! I didn't take the pic my partner did but he couldn't get the flash to work hence the blurriness. in that same POND we once had a massive Eagle which had flown into to attack a large lizard,bet you don't get them in Chilwell me duck??

mick2me 3,033 Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 Flash would have been crap. The secret is a steady hand, and not jabbing the shutter button. The exposure is perfect, not too light or dark. But the camera has auto set a slow shutter speed. You should be able to get a reasonable shot at 8th - 15th sec with care.

Caz 25 Posted February 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 Trouble is Mick we will have to wait until god knows when to get another shot. I will practice with my Duncan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We also have Deer in the pine plantation next to our property & one in particular is very tame,a bit too tame in fact, the neighbouring farmers will shoot him if he isn't careful Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bip 88 Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 Her's one i took without flash at night in the dark all on me own on a tripod at F2. 30sec expo good aint it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 Looking at Cazs pic, It appears that the problem is not Camera Shake due to slow shutter speed. The picture was taken through glass, and worse than that, at a 45 degree angle through the glass. (The answer) move the pond a few yards to the left. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bip 88 Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 Neah mick! through an empty glass... [My Answer] hold the bottle at a 45 decree angel and then move the pond... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
