We just moved to Florida, so the local wildlife is different. My first few attempts at birds.

Hiya Z,

Florida will provide you with a wealth of wildlife shots. The two egret shots are a tad overexposed. Her's a thread with some good info on exposing for those white birds http://dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=26500. Also check out the tips and resources sticky on top of this page.

Thanks for the tips. I just got a new lens on Friday (Canon 70-200 f4L) and I am trying to learn how to use it. I got some pretty good shots at my sons Friday night football game, and these arent bad for the first few shots.

I think the first one is pretty good. It doesnt look so blown out kn my computer. I will try the tips, they make a lot of sense.

I see you are organizing a shooting get together this winter - if I can I will drive over and get to meet some fellow dgrinners.
