I've seen many, but never perched. Brilliant shot.

Agreat photo



I have recently started taking bird pics using Canon EOS300d with 100-400 Canon IS USM lens. My aim is to take birds of prey although I am taking anyting at the moment to get the 'hang of it'.

Can you say why you take pictures in RAW and what are the benefits?

Great photo, cheers

Hi Peano



Raw is like a digital negative and will allow change of exposure, white balance etc after an image has been taken.



Any questions you have about photography, please post in the Photography Forum and we will try to answer what we can.



cheers

An image to be proud of. Everything is right about it from the detail of the bird to the impecable background that fully enhances the Kingfisher.
