I used a canon 75-300 lens for the photos of the hummingbird.

Thanks guys !!! Kuzano I should mention that when I took the photo of the red barn I was on the other side of the rd, on a steep bank and the bard was rite next to the rd on the other side. But I understand what youre sayin about slowing down and aligning my shot.

Thanks Bill.

I love bird watching. I have taken photos of many different birds. I know I have a lot to learn when it comes to perfecting my photos. I'd like to figure out how do I capture images like a humming bird without all the noise in my photos ? When I turn up the shutter to capture him the image gets dark so I turn up the iso which makes noise.

I have searched and found places that have events for club members. I just haven't taken that step to join. But I know I need to so I can gain more knowledge and understanding about photography. Ive never taken a class. Ive learned on my own and taking many photos.

Here are a few more of my photos.

I didn't use any kind of flash in the little girls photo. Thanks for the tips. I have a lot to learn. Sometimes it seems overwhelming. I know I have a good eye for great photos and a lot of desire to be the best I can be. I need someone to be my mentor and work side by side. Its easier for me to learn that way.

I have photoshop elements 11. Im still learning how all the features work.

What is PP ? Thanks for the help. I know I have a good eye and the desire to take awesome and memorable photos. I just need help getting there.

I am new to this site. I have always loved taking photos. I enjoy taking photos of various subjects. I just got my 1st dslr (Canon rebel T3i) this past Christmas. Before that I used a Nikon p510. I don't always get the photos to come out the way I like.

Hello I am new to this site. I have always love taking photos. I just got my 1st dslr camera (Cannon rebel t3i) as a Christmas gift last year before that I just used a pon=int and shoot(Nikon p510) I am still learning and trying to understand what it takes to create the image I see in my mind. I love taking photos of many different subjects, nature,family,insects,scenery,sunset/sunrises and pretty much anything else that caches my eye. I always have my camera with me. I would love to get some feed back on my photos so I can improve on my techniques and have a better understanding of the photography world.

My great neice. I took this last summer at my home. (Johnsonville NY)
