goldies and swallow + iris

The swallow is a hell of a crop, but I like the colours (shame about the cable!!)

These goldies where the last time I shot jpeg, had the white point way wrong!! but I've posted the pic as a "could have been"

This iris is much more in my comfort zone, hope you like it

Just looked at the exif on these as I was curious as to why the first two look high contrast and a bit 'noise reduced'. They were all shot in P mode and the camera has made some odd choices of settings.

Use Aperture Priority, Manual or Tv mode and make the choices yourself and you can get better results. (Though these are certainly not bad!)

Thanks Robert, I'm off to the Zoo tomorrow, and I'll try the other modes. I have been playing with them recently so hopefully it won't be a complete disaster:shake:

Well look at all those goldfinches, I rarely see them in my garden.
