And here I go!
Hello, my dear readers!
A while ago I was asking you about what camera I should choose. My budget was limited, my desires were (and still are) unlimited so it was a hard decision.
On this Black Friday I bought a new camera. In Romania, Black Friday was this year on 22nd November(because 30th November and 1st December are free days and it’s hard to deliver so many products if Black Friday would be on 29th November).
So I’m the owner of a lovely Canon Powershot SX 160 IS.
If you wonder what I was looking for, you might find useful to read my post here.
But why this Canon?
1. This was the best camera I could aford at this moment.
2. I have complete control of exposure, selecting both aperture and shutter speed manually. I can even control manually the focus. (This is something new for me and not so easy to master.)
3. 16x Optical Zoom Lens(lens starts at 28mm wide-angle and extends to 448mm telephoto). You know I love birds and this zoom helps me so much.
It was very hard for me to get used this week with the new camera but I hope for more, and more, and more.
My main subject now: birds.
Here you have some photos.
Even sparrows are nice posers:
We don’t have many woodpeckers as then when I was a kid…unfortunatelly.
This Common buzard was standing on a pole and after he noticed me, he decided to go. But you may see in the photo below how the mud ‘flew’ from its claws(the snow it’s almost melted and the fields are muddy). It was a very powerful take off!
I will be as busy as the chickadee above.
Have a nice week!
