We had a bit of snow over the weekend, so I thought I would get the camera out and test it out on the outdoors. Boy do I still have a lot to learn with this camera.
Thankfully we had a lot of wood stored in the shed so it is nice and dry to keep us nice and warm this chilly weekend. Believe it or not, it is supposed to get up to 50 degrees on Monday!
Some bluebirds decided to visit the suet feeder....
This is where I was having difficulty with the camera. It takes great moving shots, but I need to work on the color in my editing. Since I am starting in automatic mode with the camera ( beginners mode...lol) The white all wants to look gray, so I have to adjust it in Picasa. I am just going to have to learn to get out of automatic and learn the settings. It will come in time, I just have to study, practice and play with it.
I was surprised that this bluebird let me get as close as a I did. He did look at me occasionally, but went back to pecking away at the suet.
We later decided to go for a drive up to the project ( a wooded area) to look for deer or other wildlife. Thought we would see some easily in the snow. All we came across is the local farmers mules and some cows. I sort of overexposed the mule picture. Had it on the wrong setting....
I do love cows....
