Absolutely you can get shots...@darlin - thank you!<br /><br />Absolutely you can get shots like this. I've been posting my settings so you can get an idea, but each situation will be a little different due to different lighting. For this I set the aperture (5.6) first to show enough detail of the bird but leave a fairly blurry background. Then I rotated the wheel on top (I think your camera model is similar) to adjust the shutter speed for proper exposure. At this shutter speed you wouldn't get a blurry shot due to camera shake.<br /><br />Just take your camera out and experiment with the aperture and shutter settings and see what they do - take multiple shots of the same thing - boring, but you'll start to see the difference.Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07483295526635664974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2474956084018858907.post-8365726128849851092010-04-26T00:27:37.459-04:002010-04-26T00:27:37.459-04:00Wow!

Beauty at it's finest, excellent capture Rick. <br /><br />I have a question for you, I have a lens which is 75-300mm, so I technically should be able to take photos like this? I'm laughing here, I don't have a clue and am hoping to learn something this summer. My "Dummies for Rebel XSi" is patiently waiting for me to read it.darlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04886502544010479581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2474956084018858907.post-23685006385613271102010-04-25T23:15:24.518-04:002010-04-25T23:15:24.518-04:00@Avery - thank you.@Avery - thank you.Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07483295526635664974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2474956084018858907.post-68052739766061238882010-04-25T22:37:07.623-04:002010-04-25T22:37:07.623-04:00Very very nice work!
