Still practicing with my husbands camera

I've been to my parents house today & they have plenty of birds coming in their garden. So thought what a great place to carry on practicing with my husbands Panasonic Lumix FZ72 camera.

The Robins and Blackbirds make me a little homesick.

Very nice photos. Really like your bird shots as we don't have any of them here. 
Your first flower shot is a little dark. Do you shoot in RAW? Do you do any post processing?

We have “Robins” here in Wisconsin, USA, but they are giant, galumphing dinosaurs, the size of English Magpies. They are quite cute, but I’ve never had an American Robin beg for a worm, while fishing here. In the South of England, some Winter and early Spring fishing days seemed to be more appropriately named Robins Treats days? 😉
We also have Blackbirds here, but they have red and yellow flashes on their wings... and terrible tempers during nesting season. Quite unlike the genteel little birds in the UK.

Oh no that's a shame eurobird. I always like to see the different birds & wildlife when I travel. Haha not sure how long he'll let me use it for lol.

The first flower shot was in manual macro. This one is a little lighter. Sorry as I'm new to photography I don't know what RAW is. Also these are the original shots I haven't changed them at all, except for the 1st photo which I cropped slightly

Oh they are defiantly a lot bigger than our robins then.. When I stayed in Roanoke last year some of the locals called the red cardinal a robin.

You've got an eye. Key in on one subject. Eliminate all other distractions in the frame. Use lens selection, camera angle, f stop, lighting, whatever it takes.
