Neck collared snow goose pic

[Jim Thompson, Jr.]

The neck collar bird had an attitude and relayed that he was the leader of the pack. Photo tip of the day. Go to your public library and check out videos on photography along with books and magazines. I know it's human nature to get a camera and want instant results. People have the tendency of wanting to shoot great images immediately. I bet I've read my camera handbook end to end a hundred times. You'll be amazed what they can do. You may not use all of it, most likely only a very small portion. Really concentrate on its focusing mechanisms and options. A subject moving cross-ways versus straight at you requires different shutter speeds and focusing techniques.
