A Very Nice Day

Airedale1 · 04-26-2019, 07:34 AM

I just got a new camera and was itching to try it out. Yesterday was a nice day and I took advantage of some nice golden hour lighting, right before sunset. I shot it from Thurston's Marina, looking across the channel towards the Naswa Resort.

Thank you Terry. I've been without a camera for quite awhile now and I am excited to finally have a new one. I'm looking forward to taking a lot of images in the near future. So glad to hear that you enjoy them.

Great shot! Have admired all of your posts.
Without highjacking the shot, what did you purchase?
I am still trying to break away from my Canon F-1 and go digital.
I know......Rip Van Winkle.

I was a Canon shooter for many years and had a lot of Canon gear. I decided to switch to Sony. I bought a Sony RX10 M4. It is a fantastic camera.
Google Ken Rockwell Sony RX10 M4 review and check it out. Sony tech is amazing.

Great Photo. After decades of being a Nikon girl, I also have a Sony digital camera. Great piece of equipment. Looking forward to seeing more of your posts.

I need to get one of those cameras! It's amazing! You were able to shoot from Thurston's Marina and get the gas docks at Channel/Winni Marine in the picture! Wow! That is incredible!

As to the filters you use.

I, too, have enjoyed your photos. You obviously have a diversity of lenses...If I remember a 500mm? For some of those nature photos.

With a new camera...New lenses?

It seems like so long ago since we've seen a nice bright sunny day.

I have to keep looking at that picture to remember what it looks like.

That doesn't look like Epping to me.

Same as you. Shooting Canon since 2003, currently 6D. I finally decided to lighten up. I kept the body but traded my 3 long (and heavy) lenses in and purchased the mirrorless RX10 IV. Outstanding tech and results. Nothing quite like taking a wide angle landscape shot and 10 seconds later grabbing that hawk way up in a tree at 600mm! Good luck with it.

His in-laws have a condo that overlooks a marshy river. When I was there a couple years ago I saw people paddle boarding and there were signs every where, "beware of gators".

What's with the flying fish also? They were almost knocking people off the paddle boards. No thanks, I wouldn't even take out the complimentary kayaks.

I think it must be one of those newfangled tunnelvision-wide angle lenses...

Sorry, I misspoke. Image was shot from the gas dock of Winni Marine (formerly Channel Marine).

With the change from Canon to Sony I no longer need any interchangeable lenses.

The Sony RX10 M4 is what is called a "bridge" camera; which means it has the body of a DSLR, but the lens does not come off the camera.

The lens which is permanently attached to the body is a lens made by Carl Zeiss. Zeiss makes excellent lenses and this particular lens is a 24 to 600mm lens which is f/2.4 at 24mm and only f/4.0 out at 600mm. It is a fantastic lens. Also, the camera uses a 315 point phase detection auto focus system as opposed to contrast detection.

This camera is perfect for my needs and as someone who loves to shoot birds in flight, it shoots an incredible 24 frames per second.
