    Getting my first camera for birding. I have two options.

    Roynato, 'just to come back to this, when you say 'dense vegetation' I'm not sure what that means in Brasil. Woodland/forests with little light getting in? If so, I reckon all cameras are going to require a lot of post editing. If you like being in that type of habitat then I don't think you...

    Getting my first camera for birding. I have two options.

    I post on another forum and a lad posted a picture before and after. The before was dark, really dark on the bird's belly and flanks. I was amazed at what he did with it. You would never have guessed that the picture had been taken in such poor light, really sharp on the stomach. 'No idea what...

    Getting my first camera for birding. I have two options.

    It's been a while for me, Roynato, I can't remember which settings I have for most of those mention you above. The one I'd mention from that list is ISO. When I first bought the camera I read an article, complete with demonstration pictures, by a photography type organisation, I think based in...

    Getting my first camera for birding. I have two options.

    Hi Roynato, My understanding is that Brasil has much more sunlight than England due to being in the southern hemisphere. These cameras are fine with decent light and we get enough sun in England to make it viable, and so you certainly must do in Brasil. If it helps, concentrate on: getting...

    A pleasure, mate. 'Look forward to seeing the prize winning prints in an internationally renowned magazine. Do me a favour, when you win your prize, mention me somewhere in the footnotes. It doesn't have to be anything special, just something along the lines of: "this is all due to...

    Getting my first camera for birding. I have two options.

    There's always the option to utilise photo editing software to sharpen. I have my camera sharpen setting to 0, 'come to think of it I have pretty much everything set to neutral in-camera (after experimenting and deciding it was best to apply sharpening, contrast etc during photo processing)...

    Getting my first camera for birding. I have two options.

    There's a lad I bump into now and again and he bought a mirrorless body and banged an old lens on it (based on what I was told). 'Also told that he didn't pay a lot for the body, maybe 1,500 quid region. The pictures he gets are pretty impressive in terms of detail, pictures you couldn't match...

    Getting my first camera for birding. I have two options.

    Absolutely, there are good reasons as to why these cameras are priced at below 1,000 quid. On the other hand, you still need to make the most of the camera, and so not all people get better results with cameras with larger sensors. You still need judgement, be able to quickly manoeuvre for...
