A quiet moment for these two out at the Tri-Lakes Game Preserve. I cropped the image some and removed some droppings on the ground. Shot this out the car window with the camera resting on my arm as I did not want to disturb them. I took this with my new Cannon EOS 450D / Rebel Xsi 12.20 megapixel camera and a new 75-300 zoom sandi♥

Sandi ... sounds like you are very excited about the new cam & that is well expected. Wonderful capture ... I like how mom & baby are posed. They look so relaxed too. Can't wait to see more from your new digital. Very well done.

A NOTE TO ALL MY FRIENDS: I WILL BE COMMENTING LESS ON PEOPLE IN MY “FRIENDS” LIST SO AS TO MAKE TIME FOR VIEWING ALL “NEW IMAGES” AND ENCOURAGING OTHER PEOPLE OF WHOM I MAY NOT KNOW OR ARE NEW TO THE SITE. I WILL STILL VIEW EVERY IMAGE OF MY FRIENDS AND STILL COMMENT ON SOME IF I CAN GIVE A GOOD CRITIQUE OR MENTION WHAT I LIKE OR FEEL IS REALLY WORKIN’ WELL IN THE IMAGE. AS FAR AS MY IMAGES IF YOU HAVE A COMMENT ON HOW I CAN IMPROVE AN IMAGE I REALLY WANT TO HEAR ABOUT THAT SO AS TO LEARN AND BETTER MYSELF.

So this is with your new camera, great job. Love this capture and great detail and colour. I love the Canadian Geese and the gosling. It sure is growing up fast. FANTASTIC Job, Sandi

Hi Sandi, Nice detail with the new camera, I get confused on what settings to use on my xti, whether or not to use the raw format, If someone could shed some light on this or point me to a tutorial beyond the instruction manual.

Very nice. So you shoot all your pictures RAW? Is that why they are so clear all the time? I have that mode on my camera, but have never tried it yet. Any tips? LOL.

How can you do better, this is perfect. I always use JPEG, I can't figure out the RAW thing. Great photo taken from your car. Enjoy your new camera, and lens. Looking good so far...

Great shot Tigz. I think you and your new camera will do great together. Removing the droppings falls into the more information then I needed category. lol. Clever title. It is so clear. Good post.

Sandi, don't know whether it makes much difference when you capture your uploads to Caedes in the Raw or the JPEG mode, as you have to convert them still to a JPEG format with max 3000 by 3000 pixels. The only advantage could be that capturing in the RAW mode offers you more post processing possibilities.
This is anyhow an excellent (JPEG mode, lol) image. Well done.

One of the main things is to experiment with exposure settings and aperture.This is where you can learn a lot about your camera
and photography as well.Shutter speed,saturation and EV also
play a big role.I have not used my auto settings on either of my
cameras for months now.Sorry for going on just tryin to inspire.
Great shot!!
