Here is a picture of an African Eagle that I took at the zoo. Someone else on the forum helped with the sharping.

That bird of prey looks like a regal prince in a caste of warriors.
The eyes could melt rock and the feathers look like armor.
The last place it belongs is in captivity.

Thanks for sharing - great shot.

I have this camera and I was wondering if there was any way I could use the settings to make it so a main focal point in the picture is in focus, but the background is blurry. Like the picture of the African Eagle.
:]
Help?

I'm sure I used the Spot so I could get in between the wire on the cage. As long as the background is far away from the subject and you zoom in as much as you can, your background will be blurry.

I think the easiest way would be to set your SX10 dial to "Portrait" mode.

This adjusts the aperture to have the effect you request.

Get the background as far away from the subject as possible and use as long a focal length as you can. Wide open helps some, but not all that much on the SX10's sensor size.

Litespeed, I have a suggestion for you. For birds shots, try to aim your focus on the eyes.
