Instead of posting smilies learn to take a proper image so you dont need to ask anyone to remedy your mediocre images.

You must be perfect in all you do. I bet you there are numerous subjects and activities you know nothing about. Must be great to be such a fountain of wisdom and knowledge.

Cute. Not perfect but have a bit of common sense and logic. Something really scarce around here. I bet you I don't know about a lot of things, but looking through a manual? I know how to do it. Good job on perpetuating this pathetic circus, BTW.

What particular part should I focus on?

Can you at least do a little thinking for yourself?? Just a tiny bit, nothing too complicated......

This warbler was eating the suet in my back yard. I will remember to post in the gallery next time. Is there any way that I could erase the date stamp???

Could you, at least, read the camera's manual????

OK i get it.... Chaman, I will no longer have the time to respond to any of your comments....

You reached a conclusion based on your own pre made opinion of me. And its wrong but no bother. I will not loose my time with you or with Mr Snob here.

For bright subjects, use manual mode and meter off your hand for a starting point. Determine whether your subject is in full sun or not and meter and locate your hand accordingly.

I would set your camera to Aperture Priority at aprox. f 8 - 11, set your metering mode to spot metering and then meter off a duller part of a white bird. This will properly expose the white birds and then in post processing you can pull details out of the under exposed dark colors. Remember the saying "expose for the whites".

Maybe neither of you looked at my response above. You don't need to meter at all. Sunny 16 works fine.

Here is the BIGOT and SNOB in all his "glory". He is God of Photography for all to see.

But of course I am the troll....right? Please.

BS! Oh my God....you practically starting to nag, call down others demanding they read what you posted because you KNOW IT ALL! No one else....just you.....well, not true.

Nope. Wrong. I was doing well even after the usual snob brought his sunny 16 thing. When he behaved like an immature little kid, about how the rest of the members ignored his "wisdom" and brought their own opinions and views....I had it with this bigot. I suggest reading the thread carefully. I stand behind what I said earlier about this snob.....just a lot of talk but no walk (no talent, no creativeness, just a bunch of mostly useless facts with a camera in his hands). I mean how can someone brag about not using the light meter, yada, yada but the images posted are simplistic, poorly composed (like cutting car wheels off when there is obviously plenty space for example)? Isnt that absurd? I think so! What bothers him is that I am not swallowing his crap and expose his shortcomings. Of course the usual shallow explanation is that I am troll, the preferred term of the mediocre around here.

Do I really want a new lens?

Consider the Canon 100-400mm Mark II L lens.

I have already proved my point that Sunny 16 does not blow raw highlights in broad daylight, even if chaman is too thick to understand it.

I'm done with this pissing match. Let's see if he has sense enough to give up.

Thats it.....thats the only more or less decent image? Yes talent seems to be lacking. You think those car images were challenging? LOL! For someone who brags that much and cries when others ignore him you examples are nothing short of pathetic. Cutting wheels off, poor composition....LOL! Yes better to give up.

Sorry, but it’s simply not very sharp nor well executed. Since there was no direct sunlight and th DR wasn’t very wide, any amateur could have done just as well on full Auto with a JPEG and it looks like that’s exactly what you did.

Most of the snaps in your folder are pretty routine as well and display no particular talent.

In particular, the black birds have blocked up shadows. That can happen with a JPEG if you don’t know what you are doing, and you don’t.

Sure. LOL! Keep the jealousy flowing.

Here enjoy other snaps:

Only in your dreams could you shoot something similar. Know why? Because you have ZERO talent, none. You have spent all your life stocking up useless facts trying desperately to compensate for your shortcomings. Thats why you post mostly in the Photo Gallery, where you will surely have your hypocritical, shallow empty praise by the horde of losers that populate that section. Ashamed yet? You should be! As said before enjoy your failures.

You were lucky that this image was not in full sunlight or you would not have known how to expose it. It's a bit dark. There's not much detail in the feathers and it's not very sharp overall.

Besides needing to learn a lot more about exposure and photography, you need to grow up. You overestimate the quality of your images.

Im going to assume you know how to use Flickr and clicked on the image (maybe what I am overestimating is the mental health of who I am talking here, but well)....Its perfectly sharp and adequately exposed considering the distance it was taken and the crop that was made, sorry. I got that printed in metal and hanged. The worse image in that folder I just show you is miles away from the crap you usually post here.....and it hurts YOU, right? I was lucky in all of them right? LOL! Pathetic...... So, get down from that high horse and actually show some TALENT, if you can. Stop your snobbery. You behaved like a 3 year old because no one acknowledged your "wisdom". You should be ashamed that an OLD man like you shows this type of behavior. If you want attention go seek it some place else.

Interesting. You need to clean your sensor. :)
