Thank You all for the comments and helpful instructions.

Beautiful Color on a Rainy day. Great Job!!

Trying to keep focus using a Tele lens 70mm-300mm. Seems I have a focus problem? Should a lesser lens size be better and not have to much camera shake using held option. The camera was on Auto focus, and set at 100 with sunny sky's.

Great Pictures. Bee's are rare in my yard this year. Your flower are just beautiful.

Morning are becoming more active with the birds retuning for their feeding. The Blue Jays seem to know me, and will pose for my pictures. Good way to have my morning coffee on my patio.

While I carry the camera about I always seem to have a seagull following me for company. It stays on one leg at a time funny to watch. I'm still learning and having fun in doing so. My next challenge will be the night time star show. Hope the weather remains somewhat doable nice winter so far, then again I don't ski.

Stay well everyone

Great Pictures. They appear a little different the the ones I have here in CT. The chest color is different then mine an I love it.

White Balance was on Auto. Didn't think of that Thank You

Using a Cannon 70-250 mm lens setting on cloudy F7.1, ISO 100, Aperture priority, picture taken at 75mm. It appears the color fades a little giving a greenish tint.
Any ideas are welcomed

Outstanding Pictures

Thank you all for your comments. Love learning this new hobby and really like the advise from our members.

Although I'm not great in setting up in the cold weather at the waterfront, but sometimes the sky is just is to beautiful to pass up. I'm lucky to live just a mile from the CT river and I can setup the tri-pod an use a remote using a Cannon 55-250 lens setting F-7.5 also have the setting on cloudy which seems to work most times. This is a new hobby to me, taken up after I retired and still reading a lot of books on photography and of different setting. I love shooting on foggy mornings, it gives me a challenge in learning the correct settings on the camera to get the depth of the picture.

Great Picture

Hi,
My camera I use mostly is a Cannon a Rebel SL 100 with a 55-250 lens on a tri-pod, use a remote release so I don't have to move around much. I'm lucky being able shoot from my patio out the rear door even in the cold weather. I set up a small bird feeder on the patio filled with peanuts and the blue jays love them, funny watching them pick thru the pile of nut as to fine one they like..
Thanks for you comment.
