i am trying to learn how to take bird pictures, here are a couple attempts, i am also learning how to use CS4,so please be kind. first up is a shot of a cardinal in an ash tree. slightly cropped and a little bit of tone and colour adjustments in photoshop CS4.





XSi, 70-200f/4L shot at 200mm, f/4, 1/200 sec, iso 200


next is a red bellied woodpecker at my feeder, cropped (to remove some background junk and anti-squirrel devices), tone and colout adjustments in CS4.





XSI, 70-200f/4L shot at 200mm, f/4, 1/4000sec, iso 1600. oops on the iso setting, forgot i had it set there for some indoor pictures.
