    Wow, Nice catch DD and you have some great looking birds in your backyard---What are these guys called?


    All I have is the run of the mill sparrows, finches doves and of course 3 kinds of hummers.

    Thanks, Bob! These are baltimore orioles and it is the first year of attracting them to my backyard! Timing is everything in getting the food out when the arrive to the area, I guess. These guys love grape jelly and oranges!

    Wow DD, the sharpness of that first shot is quite stunning.





    I'm back with a few more rugby photos, this time from our Women's Team.


    All shot with the Canon T1i with the 70-210mm f/3.5-4.5 USM Lens.

    Chris,


    Nice action shots! I like the low shooting. Some of them are a little soft and underexposed and the weather doesn't look like it was cooperating to much either. Crop tighter and watch your horizons. Push the ISO and shutter speeds up a little, since a nosier picture is better than a soft one. There are some great programs to remove noise later, if that becomes a problem.


    On #2 I would try to crop a little bit of the foreground grass (I would leave the white line though, and a little bit from the left side to remove the girl in the white jersey that is partially cut off. I may even go up to the girl in the blue jersey 9 on the left and this will also remove the tallest light pole, but I like the girl with her hand on her hip, because she seems to be the only one paying any attention, but if you want to isolate the kicker then she may have to be removed.) So.., see what looks better.


    I would crop #3 much tighter, try to crop down to the top of the guys head in the background in the peach shirt, and crop out the 2 girls on the left and crop out some foreground grass. Watch your horizons too, as the girl with the ball looks like she is running uphill, however the fence looks fairly straight. Therefore, try and straighten after you crop.


    I'm not familiar with Rugby, so I was wondering why there are so many different colored jerseys on the field at the same time. Is this a practice or is there a reason for this.


    I hope you don't mind the suggestions,


    Rich

    Thank you Rich! I will take any tips I can get.


    I have gotten to a point where I am so fed up with my computer where, unless I am getting paid to do photos, I just don

    Denise, Nice captures on the previous page. I also love the cute little chick shots above, very adorable!


    Brant, Nice capture and composition of the woodpecker, and that flower shot looks even better.
