What Type of Camera and/or Lenses Did You Use?

Canon EOS 500D, 18-55mm

What Was the Weather Like? What Was the Lighting Like?

Wintry weather, with cloudy skies. Enough ambient light to not use the flash. The camera was set to auto as I have not enough knowledge yet to set it myself. The picture was taken on a quick reaction before my dog tried to scare the birds. I like the colors of the birds.

Advice

If You Remember, What Were the Camera's Settings?

Auto

Kyle Schurman, Digital Cameras Guide, says:

I agree that it has some nice colors and the ripples in the water give it a nice look! At first glance, I might have cropped it a bit, maybe only leaving the three birds on the bottom left in the shot, thereby allowing them to be the obvious focal point of the image. Good luck with learning more about your camera and enjoying photography!
