I GOT A NEW CAMERA !!!

This one has a lot more zoom, a lot more pixels and good glass.


I took it out to Juanita Bay Park for a little spin. I played with focus and zoom, letting the camera call the shots.


It will take some getting use to, but I like some of the shots I got today



Spring Sky



Pacific Willow buds



Crocus in my planter box




Juvenile Bald Eagle, it was a long way up



Pond Turtle



Leaf skeleton




Old dried tree trunk, no bark


Coopers Hawk, I think a male



Indian Plum the first blooming native plant

  2. Olympus SP-800UZ

    14 Megapix
    30x wide optical zoom 4.9 - 147 mm

    1:2.8 - 5.6

    most of that is Geek to me

    it goes zooooom and once I get a hang of it I think the Macro will really pop
