Took the new camera out today....I think I like it!!
« on: November 18, 2013, 03:08:06 PM »
Well, I needed something other than my point and shoot so I decided to buy a new camera.  After a few days of research I chose to go with the Nikon P520.  It has a 42 times optical zoom and some fantastic options.  I figured it was the next best thing to a DSLR which I will never use to its full potential......at least at this point in my photography career..... :chuckle:

Hope you enjoy the pics.  If you have any pointers for me feel free to comment.  All these pics were taken with programmed settings.  As I learn I can set up my own program or settings dependent on the situation / lighting / etc. etc.

With exception of the roses and dog....all the animals were 80 to 200 yards away.  The pic with the two does has a third doe hidden in the pic (really hard to see) and that pic was 200-220 yards.

Cool pictures. Not sure that one ram could get any closer to that ewe peeing without getting wet.

Wow!   :tup: :tup:

I might have to look closely at that for back country hunts.  That would save about five pounds of pack weight.  I have a similar HP that takes great pictures, but does not have that level of zoom and takes AA batteries that are always going dead.  Doesn't save me much weight when I have to take 30 extra batteries ;)
