Title: Drama at the Thistle Bag
Post by: gjtoth on May 05, 2008, 01:25:47 PM
Still experimenting with Burst mode and captured this small sequence. I sure don't like that I can't select my OWN ISO. At least, I haven't been able to ascertain a way to do it. These were all shot through a double-gaze window at ISO 400 1/1000 on a bright, clear day. Hence, the overexposure. I tried to tone it down some but just couldn't quite get it.

Those are nice. I'm going to have to play with burst mode on my camera to see what kind of action I can capture on my feeders.

There is nothing more enjoyable than watching God's creation dining in your own back yard. I started feeding the birds and squirrels last summer. I have no idea how much I've spent on bird seed to keep the feeders full. We have 7 of 'em between the front and back yard. I have one out there just for the squirrels.

Those are great pics, Gitoth.  :thumbsup2: Here's a hint, use a lower ISO value, and it should make your pics less grainy.

One of the things I dislike about this camera is the inability to set ISO and resolution size in Burst Mode, Scotty.  I normally shoot at ISO 64 or 100 -- very tops 200.  When I click it into Burst Mode, all the settings are set by the camera  :ticked: This is only one of 2 or 3 "con's" to this camera.  Everything else is great.

Wow!  So lovely.  I'm going to try that after my wedding for sure.
