I acquired a new camera about a week ago, and am learning how to use it. I got a Sony Alpha 300 Digital single lens reflex, 10.2 mega pixel. It came with an 18-70 mm lens. There are a large verity of optional lens' available. I think that I'd like to get a 70-500 mm telephoto lens. The camera is just about instant on, and shoots a picture right when I push the button, and it shoots in bursts of 3 shots per second. The Eagles, one of my primary targets, always seem to be just too far away to get a nice detailed shot.So a nice telephoto lens might make a nice addition to the kit. I tried some close ups, and some long shots, I tried to get shots of the fireworks, and just regular stuff. I'll include some of my practice shots. I'm like a kid with a new toy, I take it along way more often than I aught to. I took this one and when I looked at it in the computer, I found a second Eagle just below the one that I was watching. Taken over the lake to get a reflection. Our home in Mequon From the 4th boat parade on the lake. Happy first birthday Connor.
Your photos are very nice. I like the peony and the eagle. Editing to add "...BEST", because I like all the other photos as well. Some times my brain thinks the words and my fingers just can't manage to keep up.
The rose looks like velvet. The Eagle soaring is a beautiful site. Love your home...looks very cozy. And Happy Birthday Connor!! Looking forward to your sharing your pics taken with your new toy.
Don't you just love having a new camera?!!! I'm still playing with mine and I've had it for over a year now. Yep I'm addicted as it goes everywhere with me - it's like a second pair of eyes. I love the shot of the eagles Tom and that rose is just sooo beautiful and does indeed look like rich velvet. :-D Give Connor an extra birthday hug from me please. I can hardly believe that he's a year old already.
your camera takes some nice pictures....its a keeper. The flowers are beautiful and the eagle so gorgeous...I love birds. We do have eagles in our area too.
