We decided to get a new camera … one that has far superior zooming, one of the best out there for the style of camera we like (and a camera/zoom lens where we didn’t need a “lottery win” to buy it! 😆). It’s a Nikon CoolPix 1000.
We got it about the end of October, and I have finally taken off the first batch of photos. It’s taking me a bit to learn to use it, and to learn how to keep it stable, especially at full zoom. So far I am very pleased with the camera and how the photos are turning out. Here are some highlights from the first batch …
First photo! … Mr. Woody Woodpecker (a Hairy Woodpecker) hangin’ out beside the bay window …
Catching this eagle in flight was a challenge, especially with the zoom way out… “where did he go? Oh, there he is! Quick take the picture! Gone! Back! Got him!” …
Maggy …
One of our neighbors’ home… about a mile NNE from where I took the photo …
The Cheyenne Roll Cantle on Brian’s saddle …
Billy The Kid …
The Hay Barn …
From The Red Barn …
From The Red Barn, zooming in on the flowers on the left side of the deck stairs. I’m about 50 yds from the flowers …

The Nikon has a “moon setting”, so I tried it out near the Full Moon …
Brian took this one of this White Tail buck … about 225 yds away …
This little Red Fox… he’s about 300 yds away, and I took the photo through the front window. I certainly didn’t get it as stable as I’d like …
Check back soon for some more of the photos from this first batch, from when we moved cows on November 3rd!
