Based on nothing in the photo being critically sharp, I'd say that the culprit is camera movement during the 1/250 sec exposure. far too often my photos are ruined by a quick shutter button jab instead of a a gentle squeeze. Look at some you tubes about how to hold a camera for minimizing camera motion. Welcome to the wonderful world of photography. It can be equally frustrating and exhilarating.


Thanks, I will definitely watch videos on holding a camera.

Focus appears soft; eye is lost without catch light as well as shadow on face; watermark very distracting; washed out background.

These are all meant as constructive suggestions.


So, your saying not to use a low aperture? For example below a 5.6?

The grayish background is actually the color of the sky. 100% overcast.

Not very sharp unfortunately. Is this a crop? If so, your auto focus may have picked up on an off-frame twig or leaf. Try spot focus?

Not on auto focus. Yes, it is cropped to half the size. I cropped out the trees and corner of the house roof that was in the photo but the bird in the original looked the same.

Lighten up the underside of the bird in PP.

What is PP.

Omit the signature until you have a shot worth protecting or promoting. You don't have an enforceable copyright until the image is registered with the Copyright Office and blurry bird-on-stick pics won't do much to enhance your reputation. (Sorry - signatures just annoy me unless they are very discrete)

Thank you. Will omit šŸ™ƒ

It may be my eyes, but focus seems soft. Again, personal opinion, but prominent, centered watermark is distracting. If you must use a watermark, I'd put it on the side using a much smaller text.


Ok thank you. Will do that in the future.

Welcome to the UHH. Your P1000 is an enormous bridge camera, possibly the largest I've ever seen, and one heck of a super zoom. You should be able to get some very nice photos with that camera.


Iā€™m working on it. Had to get used to the weight of it when hand shooting.

Welcome to the forum! Enjoy your new Nikon P1000.


So far I am. A little frustration here and there leaning all of the settings but I will get there one day.
