My new Canon Powershot SX40 HS
First Photos
I'm taking a short walk over to Blairmount Pond to see the Swans and Cygnets my neighbour's told me about. I'm kitted up with the new camera.
The swans were over by the island in the middle when I got there, but on my arrival they decided they'd come over and say hello.
Here's the pictures in sequence. I decide to begin on my auto setting. Apart from cropping a couple, these are as they came out of the camera.
For the last picture, I switched over to 'Fish Eye' effect.

The cygnets were initially shy, but once they realized I wasn't a threat, they became more daring.
Looks to be a good camera.
I'm happy with the outcome.
Gorgeous photos and gorgeous wee ducklings. Happy Thursday!
ReplyDeleteWhat brilliant photos Jim, wish I could have come with you and took some too. All the best for tomorrow x
ReplyDeleteYou must have big ducks in Jo'burg Gillian.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jayne, I'm gritting my teeth ha ha
Ah Jim, the progression of photos just got better and better and better. The Canon is worth every cent! The way you captured the cygnets is sensational, just adorable (the cygnets not you, you Scottish devil!)
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for your next walk to see what you capture! ;)
Nice Clarity.Fluffy :)
ReplyDeleteCheers Bob, that's a great word isn't it....fluffy.
ReplyDeleteThese are cracking swan pictures. Definately worth taking pictures of for more than just camera testing.
ReplyDeleteMa and Pa seem quite relaxed consodering the attention they're getting - or are you zoomed in from half a mile away. Not an animal to be messed with!
I got within about five feet Sandy. A hiss and a flap of wings was sufficient to keep me back.
