Rita,
I think you have just earned a prize for the greatest improvement made in one day:) Well done.
Only comment is that they are framed a bit tight as Dan has mentioned but that's easy to sort next time if you remember it.

Thanks Grahame. I am quite new to all of this digital photography and many times I see what I want to capture but don't quit know how to go about it. The tips that were given to me yesterday were extremely helpful.
OK Rita...those are a huge improvement. Most all of us use ducks to polish our technique.
More questions though: how high is that SS and ISO, are you handholding, do you have live view with histogram available? ;)
Hi Chauncy, yes, ducks were much easier to get :) For my settings I used SS 1/1000 and ISO 640. I do have live view with histogram available. Don't have a clue how to read/utilize a histogram yet. That is something I need to learn. :)
That's a great leg up...while in live view, altering your settings, push that histogram toward the right without actually touching the right side, then revert to viewfinder to shoot, unless...Quote:

you have the ability to use auto focus while in live view???
Additionally, a SS of 1000 is a couple notches faster than necessary...reserve that if they're in flight. ;)
You did good Rita. I agree with Dan regarding the framing or cropping of the second and third images. Shooting a lot and deleting is part of bird photography. If I keep 20% I have done well.
Thank you Chauncey, I will play with that. I agree on the SS. Before I went to the lake I played a little more around the bird feeder with the 1/1000 but when I went to the lake I didn't change it.
