I'm in no way an expert, but shoot in RAW 99% of the time. If you have Photoshop CS5 (and I think lower than that) you can use the RAW converter to recover some of the colors, etc. If you take in JPEG and have the camera settings right you don't need to worry. If you are happy with your pictures don't worry about it...and a lot depends on if your camera permits RAW shooting.
I will more than likely be corrected on this statement :)

Can anyone help me? (I know you can!) I read about people that are shooting in RAW, but I do not understand it. I figured out enough to understand that it would allow me to do more with color and produce HD picture, but I don't know how. I am advancing in years, so I dont want to spend a fortune on training and courses in case I "Pop my Clogs" half way through. but want to learn in simple terms about this. can anyone direct me? PLEASE!

We are nearing the end of the 'eagle season' in NE Oklahoma...a few more weeks to go, and decided to run the country roads the other morning to see what I could find.

I got about 11 good shots, just posting a couple here. To see the rest I have an album entitled eagles on pbase.

Beautiful shots!!! We pretty much have buzzards here. Not quite as majestic! :-o



Curious what you find to be the best way to auto focus birds in flight? I'm shooting a Nikon D7000, but I think they all are about the same. Single point continous? Multiple point? This camera has a 3d continous 39 point that is great for running dogs, but I've never tried it on birds....because we only have buzzards!! hehe

Great shots...Robert

Thank you.
I actually went out looking for more buzzards the other day. I am determined to get some great shots of them...they sure soar high ;) Thought about laying in the field with my camera and when they think they have something to eat, well..... LOL

Anyway the settings I used for these was AUTO ISO (which I don't normally use) Shutter priority, and shutter speed of 800 to 1200. I used single point AF (if they are tracking I use the 52 points)...single servo AF (sometimes continuous for really active birds) There are so many ways to get a shot, and not anything is just right all the time...I guess. I am a manual shooter and sometimes just can't get the birds with the light and all - so reverted to AUTO ISO. I am definitely not an expert at this, and just muddle along :lol:

We had an extreme spring tide the day I took this. I was able to walk out into the gulf about 100' that was only knee deep and I caught the snowy heading back towards the beach and the rising sun. She accomodated me by flairing her wings, and I was able to get the sun shining through

I received FIRST PLACE on this entry. It is fun to see what different people think of when they consider a subject. This was actually NIGHT LIGHT, and there were a lot of night shots of Christmas lights. It was fun.
