First SubmissionWent to try out the new camera today and this is what i came up with.
What do you think and how could i have made it better? Im only new to digtal photography and havent really got a clue. Jamie
Nice shot there for a first effort, I think there are a few expert D70 bird photographers out there who can advise you on how to sharpen your techniques.

Hi Jamie, Albert Park is a good spot. This is really good for a first go. The only thing I can suggest (which is a bit tricky at Albert Park) is to try and get down for a lower angle. Did you do any processing on the image?

Nicole - I adjusted the EV level up by 0.5 and ran a highpass sharpening filter over it at 1.7, im very new to editing photos with photoshop and to be honest i dont really like to do it, it seems to me like cheating in a way.
The image when viewed on the camera looked really bright and sharp, but as i found out its not that way at all viewed on the computer. Is this the case with everyone else? Arthur - its the first time ive seen a pelican there myself, just there at the right time i guess. Jamie
Hi
Hi Jamie, Yeah. images will appear very bright and sharp on the LCD. That's why we use magnification function to check for sharpness. Unfortunately, the magnification is not high enough. So I usually delete the picture that are not tact sharp. Photoshop manipulation is just like film development in the darkroom. Many of the stunts in the film development can now be easily accomplished on the comptuer. Nikon has purposefully underexpose the pictures to retain details in the shadows and prevent burnout of highlights. So as a general rule, if the picture you are taking does not have highlights problems, we would add 0.3EV to get the correct exposure. regards, Arthur
