First outing with a 350D

[peterattheboro]

Just been to the local park to try out my new camera. Am impressed with the camera and 70-300mm lens but must say I am rubbish at getting the right settings for the right light.

For example, I was chasing a squirrel in some trees for ages trying to get a good shot. Finally got one that wasn't overly blurred or too dark but still a bit crappy.

C&C would be greatly appreciated.

If your having trouble with light and settings etc, leave it on 'P' mode (auto with options) to let the camera handle that for you, then just change the ISO if you want faster/slower shutter speeds (at a basic level), for now, then work your way from there

Good start with those pics

Yeah I was fiddling with AV and TV as I wanted to try and do it manually. Am in Whitby tomorrow so with leave it on P

just use your camera slowy. Dont go poping shots like a pap. Really comfortably hold your camera and keep the shutter speeds in the 125+ range while starting out.

Grainy over blurry

Drillduck!

Sorry, just had to

For a first go they're looking good, much better than my first attempt (that I haven't posted up, would rather get slightly better first with practice)

Did you do any post processing?

The first one looks better with a little bit more contrast imo

But over all good work.
