thank you Oren for the comments.


exposure is always the problem to me, especially when shooting birds, most of the time the background is brighter sky so the little birds tend to get underexposed. I'v been thinking use flash but don't know if it will scare away of the birds.


about sharpening, Nate has a really good post about it today, but since I havn't used photoshop yet, I only do minor adjustment in iphoto, it seems like it's time to get into it.
