Lets take this picture for example.

Now clearly the focus is on the daisies. Now bare with me. If I got to take a shot straight on the little green focus part comes up, do you guys move that without moving the camera?

Or is the camera picking up the object closest?

Noob/

What camera have you got, Gally ?

I think I focused on the daisies then moved it up to compose properly (rule of thirds, innit), but I cant really remember.

Meta-data says:

Exif for info:

Camera Canon EOS 7D
Exposure 0.02 sec (1/50)
Aperture f/5.6
Focal Length 24 mm
ISO Speed 100
Exposure Bias 0 EV
Flash Off, Did not fire

Loller at compose! I need to study more!

I have a lumix FZ38 some pics of mine... Most at full zoom (animals)

Gally, when I took an interest in Photography for about 2 weeks I bought this book

http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/0817463003/?tag=cliospnet01-21

A dead easy read and explains everything so well. Give it a go.

I was trying to get these today but they kept spooking as the boat was getting closer. I want to get them diving too, they look amazing, then coming out with a catch.
Bring back the sunny weather...

Great shot btw.

 

[Ay Ay Ron]

Got this one today on the way back in..

 

[GeordieClioDriver]

That was taken as they were sitting on a nest on a cliff!

It was taken with a 300 though lol

Where were you on a boat?.. The farnes?

 

[Ay Ay Ron]

North Welsh coast. They quite like wind turbines to dry off on. There was also a couple on the rocks as i was making my way back in to the harbour but i was busy working then.
I've always got my camera with me. Trying to make good use of the 55-250.

I'll get them soon though.

 

[GeordieClioDriver]

Isnt Skomer island somewhere close to you then? Im sure you can get pretty damn close to them there! Its full of puffins too towards the end of the month

South Wales that is. There are a few decent places round here though, Puffin island by Anglesey has a lot of good wildlife on there. I just need another boat as i doubt work will let me borrow theirs....
Plus, you shot a shag right? Its cormrants i've been looking at on the windfarms

 

[GeordieClioDriver]

Yeah It was a shag. Ah right i just knew skomer was down that way haha. Never been but a few mates have.
