Point and Shoot Camera

I recently got back from taking wildlife photos with my point and shoot camera and besides not having a tripod, I was a little disappointed with my pictures even when I managed to find something to stabilize my camera on top of. I decided to look up some tips for point and shoot cameras to get better photography.

I was comparing one of my bison pictures to one that someone else took with a point and shoot camera and I was jealous with the clarity they got. Granted I was really zoomed in for my bison so that contibutes to the noise and my ISO was about 400 because of the cloudy day. 

I learned that for non moving subjects I should have been at ISO 100 and landscape mode would have helped with a slow shutter speed to help focus on my subject more. I learned some small tips from this website: http://www.shutterbug.com/content/point-shoot-wildlife-photography-point-and-shoot-camera
