|
Well I have it working, but not fully set up yet. I will probably take a few weeks to learn everything. When I came home this morning there was a rooster pheasant in the driveway, but the camera was't set up yet. So after I got it to working I walked up there to see if I could get a pic of him and he was no where to be seen! But I did get this neat pic ! This was taken with the AUTO setting from about 15 ft away using zoom.
Well back to playing, I mean learning with the new camers!

Some more pics, all were taken with auto focus.
Macro, haven't tried super macro yet.
1/2 zoom
Full zoom
The last one is a turkey buzzard that must have been at least 1/4 mile away. So far I am very satisfied with the camera.

The turkey buzzard pic is excellent. A quarter of a mile away and it looks so close. What kind of camera did you purchase? We will be expecting lots of great pics from you!

It's a Fuji FinePix S8100fd, with an 18X optical zoom and 10 megapixel.
Her is a super macro shot.

Awww it's not fair!! I want to play with a new camera too now. I'm turning a little green with envy here!! I do soooo love it when my camera gets upgraded and your photographs show that you're falling head over heels for yours. I love the shot of the spiders web and the moth to say nothing of the turkey buzzard and those beautiful tiger lilies. Now I'm waiting impatiently for you to show us more of what that new camera can do.

Great pictures...you are learning quite fast how to use everything on your camera. I know when a tornado warning is issued one of the items I put downstairs is my camera...of course after my husband and dogs and cat.....
