Hi Graham, There are many before and after examples posted in the blog, several in fact in the last few days. Do understand that the images that come out of digital cameras are inherently unsharp as compared to film images and, if they are properly exposed, many look washed out and are low in contrast. And many feature dust bunnies so it is hard to get away from at least minimal processing.

That said my best advice for learning how to create the best images in-camera is to get the two book combo here. The original The Art of Bird Photography (in softcover) and the all=new follow-up, The Art of Bird Photography II (916 pages on CD only). And than start studying. artie

great pictures but I have to ask what do the images straight from the camera look like before or if they are enhanced n photoshop ?
as a beginner and have no interest in photoshop ( I do have light room ) I would like to know haw to get the best image of birds ( or anything ) sharp direct from the camera. current equipment is nikon d300s and sigma 15-500mm lens
.

I would appreciate your advice .

thank you

Graham
