Hi Sam, thanks for the comments. I think the wings are more motion blur than focus. One way or the other it was one of my "first category" photos taken when I was just starting out.

Increasing the shutter would have done its job i guess to remove the motion blur as you call it!!Smile

The band of light gives the photo an intriguing surrealistic quality.
Needless to say, I like it.

Welcome to our group! We're all here to have a good
time and offer advice to help each other when possible.
Your first pic is a little out of focus (wings) but you did
get the head focussed and the white of the bird isn't blown.
Not a bad shot for someone coming right from a point and shoot!
Second shot has a very nice warm glow to it with subtle lighting
surrounding the main subject.
Really pleasing shot.
Dale.Smile

I too wish the shutter speed was faster. If I'm not mistaken I had the camera in auto mode back then. I was just stepping up from a point and shoot and was taking it step by step. I'd read something and go out and practice it then read the next chapter. I'm still doing it but I'm a little more advanced now and I use the videos along with the books.
