hi Stephen, I'm really enjoying your wide range of subjects, of which many are species introductions. Great job!

However, I really think you should look into your ISO settings. All your photos are at ISO3200, which is extremely high. The result of that setting is that each of your photos is full of noise artifacts. They would be of a far better quality if you used a much lower ISO setting, so I hope this tip helps you.

Thanks for that. A couple of people have pointed this out but unfortunately I did not realise this until after I got back from South Africa. A mistake I have definately learnt from so yes this tip has helped me. Posted 10 years ago
