Lovely eagle shot's Gordon, what a fascinating bird!

Here's a picture i took today, sadly i only have the kit lens atm. Some more reach would have allowed me to get a better angle at these.

Great ass shot. . Damn you, I need to get that close the birds.

I lucked out on this one - You don't see a lot of these posing like this in a good setting.

Here are my first pics from my S9000. These were taken on full auto, handheld, and no edits other than a crop and Photobucket's resizing. I'm open to any and all criticism. Next time I hope to have a tripod, and maybe even learn how to use some of the manual controls, histogram, etc.

Hyacinth Macaw - Anadorhynchus hyacinthinus


This lil fella, whose name I didn't catch, looks like he needs a nap.


This guy has the right idea.

This was taken in late summer with my old camera (Kodak 740). I didn't have a CLUE as to what I was doing (still don't ).

Hi All

Here are some of the first bird photos that I've taken with my Fuji S5700/S700.
Unfortunately not as sharp as some of the brilliant shots in this thread and all shot hand-held on a bright spring afternoon without the benefit of any filters, in Sports mode...

First, a Noisy Miner:


Second, a wading water-bird (previously incorrectly described as a "Waterfowl"):


Third, Ibis:


cheers,
