I have had time to read my manual, and to find the relevant buttons to press, and I also found that I can see the histogram whilst I am focussing on a shot!! You learn something new every day, so they say!! :)
I decided to take my camera out with me today to a crop, just in case I got time to practice. One of the girls went outside for a breath of fresh air and came running back in for me to take my camera outside, as there was a robin sitting on the hedge.
So Chrism and I went outside, I took about 20 photos of the robin, who was very tame and came ever so close to us. Here are my three best shots
This photo was the most amazing, as I have not done anything to it, and the histogram was almost perfect, rising to a peak in the middle, just like Cheryl had showed us :) OK so my halo has just fell around my ankles!!!! The rest weren't so good, and neede a little "tweak" in photoshop.....some were under exposed, a lot, and some were over exposed, a lot. I am hoping that the more I experiment, the easier it will become. I must admit, that I DID put the camera onto "P" just to see what settings the camera was using, and "played" with similar settings.
This needed a little tweak in PS but I was quite pleased with it...
I was hoping that this photo would turn out better than it did, it is a little out of focus and needed a fair bit of sharpening, but it is still OK to me :)
The moral of the story is, take your camera with you wherever you go, you don't know what might turn up while you are out. So for the next 4 weeks, where I go, Camera goes too!! :)
Will be back tomorrow to see what I have done......
Bye for now

I have some lovely birds that come into the garden but as soon as I step outside they fly away :-( I obviously need to get a pretty big zoom lens and take it through the window - Lovely Robin he would look good on this year's chrismas cards :-)
