Feb photo challenge rejects

G'day All,

Asimov's close up shots of the creepy crawly world were great (did anyone see the latest David Attenborough - Life in the Undergrowth..now there were some awesomely close close-ups!!)

Below are some of my images that I was considering for this month's photo challenge. The last couple show 2 of the less common birds we have around our place, a Pheasant Coucal and a Tawny Frogmouth.

Peter.

Thanks Ving,

I like the frog...fattest Green Tree Frog I've ever seen, obsece infact. I was annoyed with the Pheasant Coucal, it's head is out of focus, what settings should I have used to get it all in focus? This is a big bird and the way it was perched means it looks a touch fore shortened. Anyway they all give me pleasure in the taking and the viewing.

Peter.

6.3 was the aperture setting...would I need a higher setting to to get that extra depth of field? The shot was a fluke really because the wretched thing was leaping about the place. That's what I like about landscapes ... they don't move and you have time to compose the shot.

yeah higher F/ will give you extra depth... you may have to increase iso or shutter speed, exposure time to compensate tho

Not a cat person, but it would have got my vote - nicely composed picture.
