@nac Thankyou. By the way have you tried any new shots using the manual adjusments of aperture and focus? I am still trying to get to know the nuances of the same.
Just ventured out and let my SX130 capture a few.....

Nice work skr... Middle one (two birds) is noisy.
Yeah, I have tried shooting in Av. I don't use MF in general but I have tried.
Mostly I shoot in Av. Didn't go in depth...
When you shoot at larger Av, shutter speed will be faster than when you shoot at smaller Av and it affects depth of field. Larger Av shallow depth, smaller Av depth will be deep.

@nac & @sujoyp thanks.
All pictures were taken in AUTO mode. I couldn't get any closer to the birds. They would just fly away. Had to have a lot of patience and spot selection to get these angles. This is the best at the distance I was in.
Will using manual focus, aperture adjustments help to improve the shots?
and the eagle shots - I tried to get a silhoutte (hope spelling is correct)

Of course, it'll improve your shots...
With few adjustments, your silhouette would have been even better. Just click and see the difference. We ain't using film rolls, it's digital... So keep clicking and learn photography.
You can turn the date stamp off. Image file stores those exif data, I think no need of that stamp. If you want/need it, please ignore this line.

@sujoyp & @nac Ok. I will try as suggested.
One more query.
I got 80 snaps from the alkaline batteries(in the box). I have just started using the Camelion rechargeable batteries after an initial charging of 12hrs. Till now clicked 152 snaps.
As additional rechargeables what do you suggest I buy, since you must have used eneloops.
I read that eneloops are only available with 2000Mah, while uniross with upto 2500Mah.
The camelion currently I am using is 2100Mah (as @nac would be aware of).
How important is the 'Mah' count for deciding the same.

Yeah, I am using one pair of Camelion 2100mAH.
I was suggested Sanyo Eneloop. So for both the brands are giving similar nos.
Higher the mAH longer the power. I have seen 3xxxmAH NiMH batteries (AA) but not Sanyo. There is 2700mAH Sanyo Eneloop batteries. Ebay have listed 2500mAH. If they have listed, you can find it in your local dealer. Check with electronics shop or better check with camera dealers.

@nac, @sujoyp, @toofan Thankyou for the information.
Today I bought sanyo eneloop 2000mAH rechargeables. Yes as @toofan has informed these can be recycled upto 1500 times.
@toofan Your captures are all wonderful. I have a canon sx130. Hope you have seen my eagle and ducks snaps. Ofcourse I think I cant achieve your kind of a clarity with my canon. But is there any specific technical guidance that you can give me so that such shots are taken at optimum clarity? Also I am interested in silhouettes. Need some input on that.

Skr or SRk : Thanks for the words.
Your duck shots are better in team of sharpness and colours.
Actually Most P&S and lenses are soft at there longest focal length. Also sharpness and colours, contrast depends upon the exposure you get. Sharpness on the shutter speed. you can use a good tripod for this purpose. it will allow you to shoot at lower shutter speeds also and with sharpness in images.
for eagle shots: try shooting them with better background, where the background is not as lighted as the subject. Shooting at eye level will enhance these shots a lot and it will give you some different background then sky.
Silhouettes can be shot with strong back light and exposing for the strong light. Try at sunsets. Expose for sky and the subject will automatically become darker. then you can try with different lights on background and subjects.
One more thing start using your cam on manual mode. I too have started my journey from a Canon SX110IS.
an eg shot:
shot earlier when I shifted to DSLR.

Hope you got the Ideas.

Toofan, good to hear you were using predecessor of SX130 IS.
Guys, your suggestions and comments are welcome.
Beans - Macro

@toofan Thanks for the guidance. I am getting the aspects that you mentioned. Right now I am looking out for some material on beginners guide to photography, especially the use of manual focus. I will use what information you have said to dig up more.
Good to know that you too began with a Canon. So my choice of Canon sx130 as my first digital camera stands justified. Thanks again
@nac the spider macro is good. I am yet to try macro. And the sky seems to be on fire!!!
Was the brightness in the beans snap intentional?
any suggestions for a good biginners guide to photography
