Re: Amateur photography : Hints & Tips
First off that is the same camera I used to own, it's a great camera. Your composition could use a little work, but that comes with more photos. I like them all and wildlife especially birding is my favorite hobby. #7 it's a shame the hawk hid from you. When shooting wildlife, like Dood said I keep it in Shutter Speed and usually cranked up for birds in flight. BTW where do you live that you get shots of a leopard or cheetah can't tell which it is. altogether I love them.When you get ready to upgrade your camera let's have a chat? I may be able to help you, by pointing out options that allow you to get more camera for less $$.

Re: Amateur photography : Hints & Tips
FWIW, I just try things with varying results. One is a weed in our garden - we were having a clear out this morning. And the other is a rose.
I used to have a film camera yonks ago but you were limited to 36 frames so you had to be a bit selective . Now you can have thousands even if you want to trash most of them.

Here’s another pic of the Tawny Hawk.
These pics were taken at a National Park in South Africa. It’s a Leopard. They’re very elusive and difficult to spot. I was in shock when I actually saw her. Breathtaking moment so my composition went to pieces. There’s a thread under Travel and Holidays - ‘Kruger National Park - South Africa’ if you’re interested to see all the pictures taken.
I will definitely enlist your help for an upgrade - thanks

Great shots btw. Sometimes, especially when shooting close to home I limit myself to only 36 frames. It teaches me to be more selective in how I take the photo and what I take the photo of. I forget where I learned this I think on Digital Photography School website. A valuable website.

Thank you for that and the tip!
If you don't fancy paying out for Photoshop, you can experiment using Gimp. Not as good as Photoshop but it is free.
