Everyone has been so helpful and I appreciate all the time I know it takes to figure out what is going on. A big thank you to all for your patience.Through PM with Tim, he helped locate problems I was not aware of after looking at some of my Raw photos. Two of the suggestions, among others, was that he mentioned for me to turn off my HTP and to shoot in a lower ISO, 100 or 200. I went outside a bit ago and tried this out on close up birds. The difference from what I was getting to what I got today is stunning and very exciting to me. The photos are a lot clearer, showing details of the bird I didn't notice in older shots. When I zoomed in on photo in zoom browser the photo stayed clear..wow a first for me! Some were off a bit but that was due more to me but the large majority turned out great! I am now getting more detail of the bird and clearer shots. This is very exciting, still walking on cloud 10, since I was feeling so discouraged before this. I felt that something was so wrong but didn't know how to figure it out, drove me nuts! I will add that as mentioned I still have things to work on with myself but the help I have received has made a big difference in my photos. I still have lots to learn but it's a good start to brighter days. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />Thank you so much!</blockquote>
