New Camera... Aviary photos and more

[dab_20]

I got a new camera. :) An Olympus Evolt E-500... which I'm in love with!! I went to the Aviary and took some pictures along with other ones. I'm sorry they aren't the greatest. I'm still learning how to use this camera. I used my 40-150 mm lense for the bird pictures and most of them are on Aperature mode. Some of you photography people are welcome to tell me what I can do better! BTW I went a little picture nuts. :p

This little guy was so cute. We would whistle at him and he'd whistle back.

I LOVE Flamingos. I took so many pictures of them I can't even tell you.

Nice pictures and very good start! Animals are also one of my favorite subjects to try a new camera ;)

You should try to play with the exposure mode. I don't know this camera specifically but you probably have the choice between evaluative, spot or central measurement. Take the same pics and change this parameter only, it will give you a good idea of which one the best is when you have important light differences (for instance in Molly's picture and with the green bird).

Those are wonderful pictures. I got the same camera for Christmas and I'm working out trying to figure it out as well. Keep taking those great pictures.

[dab_20]

Thanks for the compliments!

Sonia59... Ok I'll try that! First, I've gotta find where the exposure mode is in the menu. lol

catlover4ever... It's a really nice camera, I also got mine for Christmas. Have you taken any pictures with yours, yet?
