My first submission is the Tuffed Titmouse I photographed in August. I started digitally photographing wildlife in January with digital cameras on a frequent basis and it has become my main hobby. I have become an 'enthusiast' with a desire to improve and would appreciate your C&C.

Welcome

These little songbirds sure are talkative Be careful, it can become an expensive hobby

You asked for CC. Try to get the birds eye facing you rather than away. Human beings like eye contact. We all like to look at the eyes of others. Good start!

For the last shot, why 1/4000 and 1600? Black background, not always the best for songbirds. You got three stops there. It could have been ISO 200 or F11 and have greater DOF at ISO 1600.

Thanks noting the eyes...have to remember that. The last one was a bit of overkill...no excuse other than I had been shooting BIF when I came upon that little bird and did not crank down my settings. So much to remember!

You appear to have the basics of exposure and sharpness down. Now you need to work on tripping the shutter at the correct moment so that you can get these quick little birds looking at you.

Welcome to this wonderful forum

Welcome - you are off to a nice start. The best thing you can do is keep shooting. There is an awful lot to remember, so practice will help make things come more naturally ~ Ron

Welcome to FM, it's good to have you here. There's no escape now ...... this 'hobby' will both embrace and consume you, so be prepared. It's a journey that will never end but will be so enjoyable.
This is a great wee set for your first post. Lovely colours and details. Well done.

Welcome to FM. This is a great community and if you REALLY want help you can get it here. I've been told throughout my professional career that anything important you will hear more than once...hence Morris' double posting
Seriously, a very nice first posting...keep observing behavior too...it really helps knowing the proper time to shoot and being able to anticipate movement is very important.

Thanks to all. I really do appreciate your taking time to comment and make suggestions for improvement and will practice using them to the best of my ability.

Special thanks to Morris for taking the time to double post I will probably try that too.
