|| Brahminy Kite in action ||

With Tracking AF + medium spot, I was able to get the eagle within the AF box and with tracking + AF-C mode, I was able to track the eagle through out its flying path, till AF button was pressed.
Medium or Large Focus box is better when there is less distraction in between subject and the camera and subject is…

Every post is triggering email alerts and notifications

Hello Sir.

I assume that after a recent test, every post is triggering email alert and notification. Previously the alerts used to be only for response to our post or the messages. That way it was easy to monitor and respond back.

Is there anything settings that we need to change to get notified only for the responses?

Thank you.

Black-winged stilt
Clicked this image in evening golden hour. I did not have my tripod with me but as I wanted to get a eye level shot, I put the camera on my feet for support and to avoid any shake, watched the bird through the LCD screen. As the bird was not moving at all at the time of click, shutter speed of 1/160 worked well here. I…

Do go through the photography learning path document shared in the forums section. That will immensely help you improve your photography. The important aspects which many of you miss are proper exposure and composition. That’s what brings in the wow factor of the image.

Be it street photography or wildlife the concepts are the same. Have…
