As
some of you know I have had to replace my camera due to the fact that water got
into the one I usually use so last week I took the new one out for a test
drive. Yesterday I showed you photograph
from Bangor Walled Garden. As I had
reason to be in Dublin with 2 hours to spare, I went to the zoo another day. So for the rest of this week, I am taking a
break from posting on my 6 week trip to Africa to show you the photographs and
video I took. Other than sign boards,
all of them are straight out of the camera without ANY editing.
I would value you opinion.

Margaret, wonderful variety of birds. The Tufted Duck is one of my favorites.. Have a great day!
ReplyDeletePerfectly shot, each one. I keep scrolling back to look from top to bottom! You have a strong zoom, Margaret. I'm pleased to see the area was left to revert back to nature and now houses so many beautiful birds. Have a great day, (I've not forgotten your id's. I've sent on to bird experts in Dar and I know they'll get back to me soon) Jo
ReplyDeleteMargaret, your photos are always wonderful. A friend of mine has the Lumix too and she takes wonderful photos with it, without any manipulating. Were these taken on an overcast day?
ReplyDeleteI don't know which new camera you have Margaret (sorry if I missed that info) but your pictures have greaat detail and good exposure.
ReplyDeleteI would say that the driver of the camera is doing well!

You have a good eye, that's for sure. And your camera is quite cooperative. :)
ReplyDeleteYour new camera takes lovely sharp picture and I always enjoy your videos. I look forward to your other zoo photos. These were very enjoyable.
ReplyDeletei am no expert, by any means and i really know zero about photography. all i can say is that your images are beautiful....the swans are amazing!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Margaret. You have chosen well. A 'Bridge' camera is ideal for what you do and the FZ200 is about the best you could have chosen. Straight away the images you have posted are much clearer and a vast improvement. I hasten to add that your previous images were down to the camera and not you.
ReplyDeleteThe new camera seems to be doing a great job and so is the photographer!
ReplyDeletethe swans are beauties. lovely.
ReplyDeleteThe quality of the images from your new camera is excellent. The details are sharp. Of course, having a great photographer using the camera helps as well.
ReplyDeleteGreat zoo day! I love my point and shoot camera. But I have a Panasonic Lumix version on my Christmas list. We'll see...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures Margaret.
ReplyDeleteThe swans are my favorite.
Congratulations on the new camera.
Great work Margaret - you AND the camera.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos! My favorites are the swans.
ReplyDeleteA very nice selection of birds!
ReplyDeleteLovley bird shots ,Nette
ReplyDeleteGreat shots Margaret! I love the tufted duck. I think that camera is a keeper.
ReplyDeleteSuper photos, wonderful zoo!
ReplyDeleteYour images are fantastic Margaret... loved the video clip as well.
ReplyDeleteFabulous photos! I especially love the swan with the drip of water. Great variety of birds and your camera is great!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos - the new camera takes good photos. I especially like the first photo of the swan with the drop of water caught on its beak.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos!
ReplyDeleteAll are gorgeous, especially the swan. I bet you were so excited trying out your new camera! I always am! The Tufted Duck looks just a bit kind of wild and crazy! I love the young mute swan, I have never seen them at this stage.
ReplyDeleteI like how you caught the drip from the beak of the swan.
ReplyDeleteFabulous shots! My favorite is the Muted Swan, love the one with the water droplet coming out of its beak.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures. The camera is good,but it also needs to be in capable hands,which it most certainly is.
ReplyDeleteSplendid photos, Margaret. The Tufted Duck and Mute Swan youngster are my favorites.
ReplyDeleteI love the way the heron stands on one leg.

Great shots of such a nice variety of birds. The new camera seems to be working out for you. I think my favorites here today were the Swans and that Tufted Duck.
ReplyDeletelol, that was a really "tufted" duck. :)
