Be gentle because I'm very new to this slr lark, (d40 for christmas ) ...I made a resolution to try to make my bird photo's more interesting. I thought I'd try and take photo's that weren't sitting on perches ie flying or doing some behaviour or portraits up close... to be honest i'm a little dis heartened by how hard it is and how much can go wrong. hats off to those of you who make it look easy.... THey say its easier to start on big birds so 1st up Albatross. Whatever the pics are like , in real life they are my favourite to watch, so elegant and kind of ghost like drifting over the waves. The pics had to be taken through a tinted glass observatory so it was pot luck..

Any C+C welcome . Tips and advice on action shots most welcome especially one thing I think is wrong because I can't understand it but the iso on the osprey was 200 and I've read on here that higher is better ? Is that right? Also I had to set the exposure to +7 for some because they came out too dark otherwise? Maybe that wasn't the right thing to do?
