Weekly Photo Challenge – Thankful
I have always had terrible eyesight, so I am tremendously thankful for anything that helps me see. Now with the help of a digital camera and a photo-editing program, I can see things even beyond normal vision. I love being able to zoom in on something far away, and capture it so I can study it later, to turn something like this…
A whole mess of ducks.
into this…
Lesser Scaup and American Wigeon
Northern Shoveler
I have no idea what this duck is. It looks like a Northern Shoveler hybrid to me, but I’m no expert.
And being able to zoom in so close I can see the beauty of the details.
Canada goose
Look at those eyes. And those cute fuzzy feathers on its neck.
Neotropic Cormorants. I’m pretty sure.
Gorgeous feather pattern.
Really nice pictures. I enjoy photography, but I haven’t had a good camera for years. I’m hoping to get one next year, and I think the zoom option is a must. What camera are you using now?
This is a Panasonic Lumix FV35. I’ve had it for almost 3 years, and I really like it. One nice thing is that it has a rechargeable battery that lasts a very long time. I just remind myself to charge it before I go on a trip and it lasts at least a week, and I take about 100 pictures a day. It also takes video and records sound!
Thank you for the information. I may be hounding the husband for a camera for Christmas. 🙂
What wonderful pictures! The close up of the feathers is especially awsome!
