It is not easy to get a good group shot and have all the birds in the frame. You have been very successful

Thank you, it was one of those shots that just fell into place, i heard them coming, they flew low and slow in front of me with the low sun behind me.

Lovely composition, you couldn't have them more perfect if they were plaster and hung on a wall.

Wonderfull! I love the details in the photo.

Maybe I should have gotten myself a Canon instead of a Sony camera...

Thanks very much

Always a puzzler when buying a Camera, which Brand/Model to go for, seems these days there is a lot of "should i buy Nikon or Canon" being asked, they all have their plus sides, the down side is if you invest in one brand you probably will end up sticking with it as most always end up spending out on lenses that will only fit that Brand.

I like how you managed to get a shot with all the birds in different stages of their flight cycle

Just been shown a great free sotware from Google called 'icasa2'. Excellent for organising folders and pics. Found all duplicates and deleted. Recovered 1.2Gb.

I use an older version of ACDsee as a viewer, Picasa sounds good though.

Mainly want to delete photos that i will never use.

Should work with that. I save all RAW onto external Hard drive and delete all Jpegs not upto my standard.
So I have no jpegs left.

cycoze In reply to Lightfoot11 [2008-01-13 11:06:52 +0000 UTC]

I need to work out a better system for sure, i have started to delete the RAW+smallJPEGS that are not up to standard, but i have only been doing that for a few months, the couple of years prior has seen everything saved so a lot of work to do !

Motivate yourself. Look outside and think 'warmth or the cold'.
