My new avatar, caught this little one in the garden this morning, light was a bit harsh, not a decent macro lens, so had to crop and a bit of contrast/ colour adjustments

Superb photos @Schnitzel Frontier !
Not quite wildlife but a once in a lifetime opportunity. Baby Bengal Tigers
@Schnitzel Frontier do you clear your meta data embedded in your pics? I was hoping to check your settings for these awesome pics... I'm a real amateur and trying to stay away from putting my Canon 80D on Auto...
@Rob Fisher I don't normally clear the metadata. It appears once on the forum or downloaded it doesn't show any data.
My apologies, always keen on sharing.
All pictures shot with my Sony A57 SLT camera.
1st Picture - f/6.3, 1/20 sec, ISO 400, 250mm (18-250mm Zoom Lens)
2nd Picture - f/2.8, 1/2000 sec, ISO 200, 100mm (100mm Prime Macro lens)
3rd Picture - f/4.5, 1/800 sec, ISO 200, 100mm (18-250mm Zoom Lens)
Best way to use manual settings is Practice Practice Practice
Its also good practice to use the aperture or shutter priority modes and see what different settings produce and what settings your camera decides on.
Hope this helps
It does indeed help thanks! Photography (well real photography) is a lot more difficult than one expects... sure the great equipment helps but only so far.. I want that CRYSTAL CLEAR and SHARP image in my photos... I know that's only a small part but SHARP FOCUS (on the subject) pics really get my engine going!
Those are glorious photos @Schnitzel Frontier
Where were you when you took them?
Thanks very much ! I was at a Big cats breeding reserve/program in Limpopo. Some friends of mine were raising the baby tigers at the time
Three 8 week old tigers, one male and two females.
Amazing opportunity!
