I really like your black bear picture. Looks like you were very close. You did a great job of framing and or cropping the long beaked bird. Would like to know more about your pictures, lens used, aperture, etc. Thank you.

Thanks for answering. I have a Canon which will go to 3200, but I haven't
tried it yet. I will though.

I see you used ISO 6400. I've seen where people often comment on how low an ISO they use to prevent noise? Your pictures are great at ISO 6400. What is the story on ISO?

Some really great ideas here. I really like her approach to composition. I would not have thought about using a tripod for daytime landscapes. Also her discussion on Depth of focus or hyperfocal distance was great. I seem to have a problem with that. I even got out an old camera and remembered how it use to be on the lens. I guess that is difficult for our new zoom lenses though. Thank you.

My favorite is your first picture with the blue flower and the feather. The picture is made much more interesting by the feather even though it is not the subject. Tony Sweet's point to look for the background first to make an impressive / interesting picture makes a lot of sense.
