Pictures are pretty clean, I thought you had reduced the noise using a software. By the way, what lens did you use for these shots?
iso200 should be clean from noise :)

Good job forward! I like #01 as well..

#02 you have details on wings but the eyes lost the focus. So you need more than F8 for the shots to be in focus. In other words, you should stop down more than f/8 for more depth of field.

Hi Bro ! Nice photos for a start , can see clean background . Are you using a tripod ?

Like Bro Birder said , stop down to f8 to get more DOF . I usually shoot with f16 & above with flash ... I not so skillful enough yet ... :sweat:

Use A Mode is ok but watch out for the slow shuttle speed which may caused handshake & results blurr pictures . Try using M Mode and start off with f8 then adjusting the shuttle speed until you are comfortable with the speed , then if you think that you cannot handle the speed , time to use the flash . This way , the shuttle speed should be about 1/125 which is stable enough for any shots .

Try going out a few times with Bros here for 'Live' demo , that way you will definitely absorb more & pick up faster ! :banana:
