Mother and The Child

I like the setting on this one. Not sure if you have more of the adult or not. If you do, it would be nice to see more of her. While there are exceptions to the rule, it is usually undesirable to have a partial animal in an image. Again, the image quality looks pretty good. I would still work to lower the ISO and choose a more appropriate aperture. 

Hi Nishand,

This is starting to look much better.  The images are much sharper than those that you posted in the past.  It would be nice if the tree wasn't there of course, and try to get the whole animal in the frame.

In general, keep this lens setting between f4 and f8.  Keep your iso at 800 or below unless it is very dark outside.  Also, try using single point focus and keep that focus point on the eyes of your subject.  Set your camera to aperture priority and let the shutter speed be automatic.  This is just a starting point, but once you learn your camera you will know what to do from here.  

I agree with the previous comments, but this is a beautiful scene.

Hi Nishand,

I agree with the comments above but did want to say two things. First, I do find the lighting on this shot interesting, especially how it's illuminating the two subjects.

Second, expanding Charlie's point about aperture a bit: With most modern digital cameras (and this is especially true as the resolution increases from one model to another) the images soften up (lose sharpness) a little. Depth of field will still increase, but overall sharpness falls off. MOST lenses are optimized to be their sharpest at f8 (tho' some of the most expensive pro lenses are still very, very sharp when shot close to wide open or at their widest aperture). So choosing the "best" aperture for a shot is always an "optimization" exercise (i.e., a balance or trade-off of competing goals). Which is the exact kind of thing that makes photography so darned challenging...and fun!

Cheers...
