Friends, to me a lot of this talk ia a bouncer. All i know is 'point at the object and press the button'. :stupid:

But its good to know theres a lot of knowledgable members present.

Congrats on pic #1. You have thrown the backgound outof focus (blurred) which helps in the subject attracting attention of viewers of the picture. Nice one.

As an example of overcoming adversity, Karoly Takacs has few peers. He was part of Hungary’s world champion pistol-shooting team in 1938, when an army grenade exploded, crippling his right hand. Ten years later, having taught himself to shoot with his left, he won two gold medals in the rapid-fire class.

Dove and Pideon Day today

Post by fantumfan2003 » Sat Aug 14, 2010 6:04 pm

Spotted and clicked 4 different species in the garden near where I live in the capital.

Eurasian Collared Dove Streptopelia decaocto

Image

Laughing Dove Streptopelia senegalensis

Image

Yellow-footed Green Pigeon Treron phoenicoptera . Thanks guys...

Image

Sharpness is not as per my liking. I had to pan as they were just not keeping still.
All images cropped, resized and sharpened a bit.

Last one is Emerald Dove I think...

Can't put off decision to buy a good bird recognition guide anymore. Please suggest me a good one. Thanks in advance.

Thanks Tas, for the encouragement, I have taken Brihacharan and advice from you/fnatumfan and started reading up on 'composing a photograph'. In the last picture, three element of composition are incorporated - texture(light), diagonals and grid 2x2. But after taking a photograph, I feel my heart flip or skip in excitement and I know that I have taken a good shot! :D
