lol well I have heard that Canon offers cheap teleconverters for some of their p&s cameras but I don't know how much they would extend the lens in your camera though.
It actually doesn't have much to do with how much it zooms in when it comes to bird photography you must have a lens with a focal length of at least 300mm. Then there is the focal length multiplier for cameras with sensors smaller than 35mm... it could get really confusing -.-


I don't really want to invest in my little powershot...
It's a nice starter camera, but I'll save my pennies for a DSL or something like that...

My camera doesn't perform very well in low light and higher iso than 80..
It's just a little 200$ point and shoot..
I had to set it at 100 and the sune was already down..
It's  good in macro overall and when subjects are not too far..
One day I'll be rich and have a better camera...
Or I find a rich boyfriend who can buy me one...


I'm pretty sure it's not a matter of your camera.
I'm on my laptop now, it has a lower resolution monitor and I can see pretty well that it looks a lot like a jpg artifact.

I think it depends on the quality setting of the program you use to edit.

Is it PS or something else?

Could also be the hosting site, but you used tinypic and it doesn't suffer that problem.

jo erm you use Gimp right ?
and you shoot in RAW ?
so if you safe as .jpeg or .jpg when the quality dialogue comes up try to set the  curseur/pusher to 100%


to understand what an jpeg artifakt is perhaps you should open paint ( the low grafic tool of windows) and do some red lines.
after you go to |save as ...| (  Enregistrer sous ...  )
and write test.jpg

and there you go
you have jpeg artefacts at the borders between red and white


haha ok erm an great heron should have the feather at it's neck so erm that "artefact" is quite normal :P
what a funny mistake :P

I used GIMP to add contrast and saturation.
Then I saved at 100% quality.
After that, I use Paint to get the file much smaller cause I'm on dial-up and I don't want to wait 30 minutes to upload.
And I upload using Tinypic...

I don't understand that jpeg artifact...
I see that something is weird, but no clue what to do about it..

----------

edit..
I just checked my file on computer, and the artifacts are not there...
But on what I posted I see it around the trees and around the birds.. :(
So it's either Paint or Tinypic..

Anyone knows how to reduce a picture on GIMP?
Not crop, I know how to do it.. just make it smaller....

OMG Paint! :o
Don't say that word again please :o :o It scares me!!!

I don't know how GIMP works.
Photoshop has a different quality measuring: 10 is very nice, I always use that. 12 is the max, but the file is MUCH heavier and I can't see any difference really.
Your pictures are around 20-50kb each, that's very little but the quality is not high enough.
You should be able to upload them even if they are 200kb, so just avoid using Paint. Please :p

My original pictures are over 3 Mb...
On a 28 kb/sec dial-up connection, I'm sorry but I can't wait that long to post...
Even at this real small size picture, it takes about 3-5 minutes to upload on Tinypic.

I can't afford Photoshop.
If I could, I'd be buying a new camera :p
