2 birds in the bush

G'day

Neither myself, nor the 18-200mm seem that suited to "wildlife" photography, but still that's no reason to not try. I think the bokeh from the lens is quite good.

Short of getting a better lens (can't afford) and camera (coming) is there anything in particular I should be trying to do? or avoid?

Thanks for looking

Hi Bob,

I took the liberty to quickly PP your photo of the kookaburra (I sincerely hope you don't mind)

What I did was a little sharpening, a little shadow highlight and a little (perhaps too much) saturation.
What do you think ?

Best regards,

G'day Christian

I certainly don't mind you doing things to the images I post here, in fact I very much appreciate the time and effort in you, or anyone else puts into doing so.

Cheers
