Jumping ahead of you all again.
 Mucking about with new camera. This is SOC. Apart from resizing and giving the colour more depth.

   

It is actually a slighty different POV than this one of the same wattle.

Good morning MIB, or at least it is morning here. I've been up a couple of hours, since about 4 AM. I think I have everything packed on the trike for my ride down to the panhandle of Florida.

I really like shot 2 here, the yellow really pops. I must have missed you getting a new camera. Congrats. I'm taking my Panasonic P&S and one of my old Minolta SRT 101 cameras, loaded with B&W film. Leaving my Nikon DSLRs at home.

The camera is a Nikon P950. A bridge camera yes. Something I'd been avoiding for a long time. However, since my main DSLR is a Nikon D80 and using lenses from the late seventies, some of which were either tired or needing repairs and the Olympus TG-1 had been dropped one too many times... I couldn't really afford to buy a new camera but sacrificed from other expensive habits to get it.

The first image was doing things the camera manual either didn't discuss or told me not to do. Was testing how close the camera would focus and pointing it at the sun.

MFI, I like them both.

Well done.

Thanks Dave.
All of the bird photos I've been taking recently is the major reason I purchased the camera. See the monthly.
