It rains so much here, our trees need umbrellas

Gnomes love their Christmas cooking. They also live underground. At this time they build lots of new ventillation shafts. Like these.

I got out to play with my new camera yesterday when the rain eased up a bit. Here's two faces of Helios.

Second one would make a good avatar.

I'd like to see the second one with a greater depth of field - just for curiosity's sake. Maybe just to challenge you to try now you have a real camera. By the way- what did you buy?

 

[Northwind]

Thanks @KayTheCurler feedback is great. When I figure out how do do that, I'll give it a shot. I got a Canon T7i. I love it so far.

Focus is my next goal. It does really well in some situations



It focuses on the wrong thing in others. I know I can choose what to focus on. I just have to figure out how to do that

....there's 'my' bird...

 

[Northwind]

My photos of him there yesterday were better. I did get a couple good ones of him today in a different spot. If I knew my camera better, and were on the ball, I might have gotten him in flight today.

 

[KayTheCurler]

The puppy is adorable! The bird would have worked better if you switched the camera to manual focus. Auto focus tends to fixate on what is closer to the lens.

 

[Northwind]

I tried to put it in manual focus. I had inadvertantly put it in live shooting so couldn't use the viewfinder. I'm going to play with manual focus tomorrow.

So much to learn with a new camera! Do you use online tutorials at all?

We're going out to Squamish in a week or so - looking forward to seeing all the bald eagles that winter there - my mate is an excellent photographer ... so there will be some interesting shots I think.

 

[Northwind]

I'll have to check online resources too. I learn better if I explore first then get info. I'm ready for info. I have a friend who is a great photographer. She has Canon so is a great resource.

She's "helping" by testing the bed to make sure it's cosy...Adorable.
