Well that is an issue with my camera as well, it tends to focus on the background a lot specially when it is brighter or has more detail. In those cases I switch to the center focus or manual adjustment of focus.

Also in multi focus it tries to keep as many things as possible in focus. So if the parrot covers only one focus point and the tree around it passes 2-3 focus points then the camera will tend to lock focus on to the tree. Same thing goes for the exposure too.

Medico, that is pretty cool. Have you used selective coloring in this?

 

[a_medico]

yes i have

 

[abhidev]

how do I insert photos here from Flickr ??

 

[izzikio_rage]

When you open your pic in flickr there is a share button at the base (looks like a box with arrow coming out). Press that, go to copy bb forum code and copy paste that here. It'll work

@a_medico - Nice, That looks something that could be on a magazine cover.

abhidev liked ur 2nd and last ...nice garden for kids it seems

 

[abhidev]

Yea it's a park where they have replicas of famous monuments from all over the world

 

[nac]

Sujoy, Zilpi's are nice, I guess Mobile camera, right? Bird photos ain't good

Abhi, Except first one, others are OK.

 

[sujoyp]

LOL no nac all are taken with D7000 only ...birding is difficult man ...go to a open space where birds fly 30-40 meters away ...you get no details ...even with a 600mm f4 you wont get anything at all ...
previously I used to shoot in local gardens and my own garden ...where birds are within 10-20 meters ...soo you could see the feather details ....I shot 200 shots and all are below average coz they were too far away ...I cant help ....I can just pray that some nice bird come close to me so I could shoot it

If you are in FB you can check the birds I got here...they are not good

Excellent shots medico
[MENTION=128954]sujoy[/MENTION] - Sad to see the new body not helping enough man, I have seen much better from you. That lens is definitely holding you back now. And the lack of greenery in the background. And the terrible lack of sharpness - mostly a lack of focus

How about locking the focus points to _one_ of the closer ones to the intersection of the rule of thirds and force the camera to not keep hunting for some 'optimum' mix of multiple points ? Thats something I have seen helps often, although my experience was going for the macro end on my stock 18-55. Just my two cents.

 

[sujoyp]

Pranav the issue is surely from my end..lack of experience with d7000 is the trouble...with advance things come the responsibility to upgrade knowledge..
This time I got soo many correct bird in flight shots...now the issue remains sharpness and contrast...contrst is difficult when sun is right up in the sky..sharpness I will try
