I don't hate these bird shots - they're the first ones I've ever attempted, after viewing absolutely superb, amazing, is-that-real bird shots on flickr. It's just that I know what the good stuff looks like, and I'm sooo far away.

the ever-elusive bird shot
I'm finally starting to accept that blindly pointing and clicking is getting me nowhere (at least in terms of enjoying the process...) My camera's automatic settings cannot read my mind. Ignoring the technical side of photography entirely - other than modifying the automatic settings I already use - makes for frustrating picture-taking. There's no other way around it.
