[Mark51p]

Went to the Zoo today got loads of pics but liked the one below. Its a shame it flapped off after this pic was taken i took this whilst waiting for it to look my way. Maybe i need to work on my chicken impressions, lol

what could i have done to make it better? (note ive managed to figure out how to add border and watermark,lol)

hahah... having fun with the camera mark!?

I've just had a look at your settings which are:
# Exposure Time (1 / Shutter Speed) = 1/13 second = 0.07692 second
# Lens F-Number/F-Stop = 16/1 = F16
# Exposure Program = shutter priority (4)
# ISO Speed Ratings = 200
# Focal Length = 43/1 mm = 43 mm

First of all your shutter speed is pretty low! (1/13second), although you've done bloody well to keep it sharp!
If you're wanting to capture moving subjects like animals and minimise your own natural tendency to shake the camera slightly when you take a shot you want to have that shutter speed much higher if you can (like 1/100 - 1/200 or higher if you can) that'll make the image much clearer.

F/16 again is very high... if you'd increased the shutter speed this number will have dropped meaning that your background becomes more blurred - making the subject (chicken) 'pop out' in the photo.

Rest is ok... although if you can try to stick is ISO100 (this means the image is less grainy) although ISO200 is perfectly fine

Top shizzzleeeee

ads, how did you find out what settings i used?

[Barry123]

Unless the person who created the photo specifys otherwise, each jpg contains data about the settings that were used during the shot. It's known as the EXIF. If you go on to one of your pics on your home computer, right click and select properties, then hit the details tab - it'll show you all the settings you used when you took the pic. However to do it with Internet pics you need to add a plugin to the browser you're using.
If you're using Firefox then type into google something like 'Firefox plugin exif' and should come up with a list of programs you can use. Then all you do is when you see a pic o the Internet, you right click and select 'view exif' or something like that.
All my pics on here contain the exif so you can try it on those
