I had had my Kx now for 6 - 8 months, So still feeling my way, and need some advice. I have been down to the local woods to photograph birds. Please can you guys comment on how i can better my images. Problems I am having are getting the correct focus. Getting fast shutter speeds without the lens being fully wide open. I also need some tips on PP. I post these images which I have set levels and cropped. Thats my skill level at present

Your right that's a decent shot...On what can be a difficult subject. Completely wild, and in it's own enviroment.

Hi Do you have a postage paid price (Manchester) for the slingshot 200 ?

Getting it wrong gets my vote too.... Only one that emphasises speed.. A very nice set of pictures though.

PM sent....

I would choose no 2.. It'perfect for a fast and dangerous sport.

Nice image..For me I would crop again. Moving the bird a little to the left.

It's collapsable for me... Though i'm no expert...

There is no reason why small retailers should be jepordised by the internet. There is nothing stopping them lauching their own web sites. They can adopt, as people like Comet do. A dual price structure to distinguish between internet and shop sales. They have to be salesmen and offer extended customer services. This sounds rudimentary but a great deal of them arnt. Why dont they keep a database and then ask customers back to sample new products on the market, in open day senario's. Let face it they get massive discounts for display stock, from the manufactures. Gone are the days of one town shopping.

Cheers Simon...Just ordered one..
