HI...my name is John, (62,retired) I live in Gloucester and this evening I made my first post on a thread about camera settings. I've been getting some decent equipment together and dipping in and out of here. I'm registered as joining in June last year I see but , that was a little premature for me re. equipment to get decent photos. I've been on two bird photo shoots ,one at a feeding station in the Forest of Dean (February) and last Thursday to the Gigrin Red Kite feeding farm, Mid-Wales.. (They supply the Kites with half a ton of prime meat a day!) We saw an albino Kite, too and it was a steep learning curve photographing BIF but fascinating. As I said in the other post I have photos from both shoots but looking at the quality of photos on here has held me back from posting any. I thoroughly enjoyed Gigrin and will return in winter when I was told by a Birdforum member, who was also there, that it's a better time to go.
On August 15th. I'm off to the Isle of Mull for 5 days of bird photographing and hope to see the White Tailed Eagle,puffins and many more so I need to get my skills up to speed and that is why I found the 'BIF settings' thread so helpful.
