I am looking for a good photo editing software package.
Believe it or not i am using Google Picasa now. it does a pretty good job but isn't the answer.

that was the reason that i posted. I thought it was cute.
My FB friends don't appreciate the work without a professional camera & lens. this can be habit forming.
my wife is already wondering what I do for hours at a time

I have to get a better lens than the 200mm on my 60D.
This is a tough capture. Thank you.

I'm getting better with the forum members help.
I shot this in sports mode with manual focus through a window. fifty feet from subject.

Two birds. One checking the other one out.

Emmett,
Either more zoom or use your suggestion.
I am surprised with the battery life. My Elan ate batteries & the were not rechargable. So nice to have a good camera again. my FB friends are amazed at my photos because all they have is phone camera's. I have friends who only have a few dozen pictures to show for their life in over ten years.
No excuses anymore. Thanks Emmett, I know I will enjoy this forum. "The difference between pro & amature" the pro never show their mistakes.

They look great. I'm getting there. Only had the 60D for three weeks. the first week was awful.
I have their feeding time down. It's sundown. The cardinals come in droves & wait in the tree for the feeder. lack of enough light is forcing me to use slower shutter. Does Canon offer a wireless remote? A tripod would be nice in our back yard.

I'm still struggling on this one. too much noise in shot

Thanks for reply. My home office is about 50 feet from the Dogwood tree where my wife has two bird feeders. The birds seem to know when I take my camera out of the bag.
Getting closer is virtually impossible. We live next to Kennesaw Mountain battle field which is a migratory route for many birds. My thought is to go to a faster 300 or 400mm lens. I keep my camera on my desk for that rare bird shot. The other issue is shooting thru a window. This creates problems in auto mode. Yes I would like to see some of your pictures.

This is what I start with before crop or photo enhancing at 200mm

my name is Lynn but i'm a guy.Confusing name. I live in Marietta Ga. My first decent camera was a Canon AE1.(many great photos with it) next was EOS Elan two. Just purchased Canon 60D with 18-200.
Like the camera but need a better lens. Shooting bird shots at 200mm is tough focus. Looking for advice on a good lens & photo taking tips. Great photos on this site!
