on the sparrow shot how far away from the bird were you? was that a macro shot on the dragonfly. fantastic. On some of my bird shots using manual(sx40), i have been trying to get that soft background as on the sparrow shot which makes it pop.But not always successful. for our pro viewers and users of the sx40,what settings on manual would one use to get the soft background effect as on his sparrow picture? Thanks!!
I was fairly close to that bird and I did use the macro setting for the Dragonfly. Where your other questions are concerned...guess you'll have to ask a Pro...I'm just a backyard amateur ;-)
