Title: Testing my new camera out!
Post by: Sarge on April 23, 2009, 02:10:01 AM
Can't believe how many posts there are in the challenge! So many awesome pictures!

I bought a new camera on Monday which is a Sony A300, brilliant so far! :) I got 2 lenses with it a 70-300mm and a 18-70! Here's 2 Silver Gull's anyway. Taken with the 70-300mm lens.

And here's another taken with the 300mm. It is a Magpie-Lark

That's one camera you can't go wrong with, Sarge.  I have a few friends that have the same outfit and produce excellent shots like these.

Are you in Perth?

Wonderful sharp photos, Sarge.  The camera is great, but without a fine photographer behind it, it wouldn't be worth anything.   :thumbsup:

Wonderful shots Sarge.  What is that third bird?  Do you know?

I will say the same to you as I did to Gary.  The camera takes the picture but it is ehr eye behind the camera that see what to take.

Well done

Thanks for your comment Gjtoth. Yep, I am in Perth. Seems like everyone else is in America, but I still love the atmosphere that is created here.

Thanks Jeanne. Really appreciate your nice comment. :)

Thanks so much Judy.

Tim.
