I pay a lot of attention to Ravens. Some of my best photographs came to be because of the ravens. Ravens are really just a big crow. They are a very intelligent bird, which I guess some can argue with. They work as a team. As a family unit and are very bold creature. More than one raven is called "An unkindness of ravens", I can see why because wow can they drive off the biggest of creatures! There are ten species of the Raven with two more that are said to be extinct. The Magpie appears to be tolerated by the Raven, though they too are finally ran off by the bigger Raven. The Magpie we have here are very smart birds, though I really do not "listen" to them as I do the Raven. After seeing the all the Ravens in a small clearing it did not take Guy long to stop the truck and off I went into the brush. Guy seen a little of what the Ravens were doing, this was running off the eagles. There were two eagles. One was a big Golden Eagle, the other was a young smaller Bald Eagle. Many of these two species of eagles are showing up together these days. I have not noticed this in years past, but this year WOW has this been obvious! The Golden Eagle standing on the prey is the first thing we noticed after the Ravens. The prey I could not identify. Did I want to identify it, not really!! It was white and it appeared to have died some time ago. One thing people do not understand about Eagles, the Golden Eagle and the Bald Eagle is, they will take a meal whether they themselves hunted it down, or if it died by some other means. Eagles will do their best to steal prey as well. The species of eagles are opportunists. They can be scavengers. The Raven were doing the best they could to run off the Eagles, but the Golden Eagle was having no part of being ran off by Ravens! The young Bald Eagle was trying to grab some of the meal when I was getting close, but took off up into a tree to watch. These are the photographs of this event.

Tips Avoid Blowout Caused by Flash - Do you are ever run into trouble when using the built-in Flash on the camera? Are the photos you produce 'Blow-out' and you feel a flash was too strong so that the object become over? What to do when it finds a situation like this? When we try to visit in the image share sites like flickr, there are many who experience this condition (blow-out), and indeed most of the photos were produced using a pocket camera or a Point and Shoot. Why pocket camera? Built-in Flash because pocket camera features minimal controls, either on flash power or flash light power and setting the direction of light. Unlike the External Flash on DSLR camera that can be directed to our liking. Here are some tips on using the built-in flash on the camera point and shoot or DSLR you can do: Think of Built-in Flash as your secondary light source Always position the flash as a secondary light source, surely there must when shooting ambient light is not it? Ambient light is the light that is in shooting place, such as light bulbs, solar light and others. Ambient light is important for your picture, remember that light is natural light in the location shooting. Use the flash as a light source support and never used as a primary light source, and if you are use the flash as the main light source you will see the light in the photo is artificial (artificial light). Try as much as possible to keep the ambient light or ambient light. Back one or two steps The simplest way to reduce the impact of the light coming from the flash, is to increase the distance between you and the subject of the photo. In previous articles, we have always been advised to approach the object image, but in this case if you are too close to the object will be too bright because it was hit by a flash of light coming from the camera. Many of the photographs 'blow-out' because of the distance the photographer is too close to the object image.

Astronomy photography is a very special field and is revolutionized by the invention of space telescope Hubble.

A 2.4-meter (7.9 ft) aperture telescope in low Earth orbit, Hubble's four main instruments observe in the near ultraviolet, visible, and near infrared. The telescope is named after the astronomer Edwin Hubble."

Choosing DSLR Lens Guide - In the last article we talked about the type of DSLR lenses on the market, and it could be the beginning to answer the following question: Which lens should I buy? Tutorialphotography.com In this article will discuss some of the factors for consideration when going choosing a DSLR lens. Each of the features below will be different in each lens. Lens Speed The speed of the lens could be the subject of when you are looking for a new lens. Speed ??or how fast a lens is actually closely related to the maximum aperture is owned by the lens. Aperture is the size of the lens aperture when the shutter button is pressed (or how much light enters the camera). Aperture is denoted by F (f-stop). you can read our article about the aperture at: Understanding Aperture in Photography. The smaller the number the bigger the hole, and there will be more light coming in at one time. This means the shutter speed becomes faster, the reason why the term 'fast' or 'faster' The magnitude of the maximum lens aperture can help you in several ways, among others:

Most of the time photographers use their camera by keeping its angle just at an eye level of the subject. It may be the landscape, documentary shots or portraits. The result is static lifeless routine images. By just changing your angle of view of your camera you can produce stunning results. Both a lower angle and a high angle work very well.

Indoor Wedding Photography Ideas to Get a Beautiful Picture - Questions often once there when we are shooting indoors. How to produce a good photo when shooting indoors? Camera settings which we will discuss here comes from some experience when photographing corporate events, weddings were held in the building. This setting allows you to take pictures of people or as a foreground subject, but still get the colors or the light in the background. Settings for Indoor Photography Use the camera settings in Manual mode. This setting allows you to gain full control over your digital camera settings. Set the maximum aperture eg f/4.0 or f/2.8. Set the shutter speed at 1/60, because it will be difficult to take pictures using only your hands at speeds below 1/60 sec. As a reference, do not ever shoot with a shutter speed below Focal Length size that you use when shooting using only your hands. Example: do not ever shoot with shutter speed below 1/50, if you use a 50mm prime lens and take pictures simply by using hand (without a tripod). you will need External Flash, if possible, the reflected light flash to the ceiling so that light can be more evenly distributed. Test it by shooting a couple of times and see how it works. If the image is less bright or underexposed, try raising the ISO (from 200 to 400) until you get the results you want.
