I ran into a group of computer geeks the other day.

Close encounters of the nerd kind.

Great photos Nom. Whenever I try to photograph adult swans, I can never get the feather detail. They tend to just 'white out'.

I agree also black and white is hard, i usually underexpose a bit and sometimes it works.i like to see detail in plumage if possible, its the kind of views i get through a scope.

I think I'll have to come away from the 'auto' setting.

I dont class myself as a photographer Mart, as i dont know all the bells and buttons that a photographer knows, i have learned through trial and error what works, but i get my fair share of what does not.

I a not afraid of Auto and i often use it as a guide to see what settings it uses, then try to emulate them, in AF mode, and i use the histogram to check the exposure. But its my way and others will differ, my best aid is fieldcraft learned from decades of watching wildlife, allows me to get closer to my subjects.

The seal was taken with a Macro lens, because i took the wrong lens on the day.
