My purpose here is to show you the prowess of a fixed lens camera. I use a Canon Powershot SX60 HD for all of my shots!
First Photo; A "Highland Dropwing" (Trithemis dorsalis) dragonfly!
Of course you will also need a sharp eye, patience and stealth to get these shots. They have now replaced the SX60 with an updated SX70 and the thing can accommodate the new 4 Gig settings. It also has Wi-Fi and many other tricks, but I am married to my SX60.
The slow IT feed to our country due to a damaged cable in the oceans is a severe struggle, especially now in the lockdown period. Post prep and posting can now take up to 4 hours.
Come and have a look below!
Here we have a "Red-vein Dropwing" (Trithemis arteriosa)
And this is a "Broad Scarlet" (Crocothemis erythraea)
Thought I would end the macros with a Hive pet, the Cape Honey Bee!
And now to show you the Ultra Zoom of this camera!
That big ball is our white hot African sun!
And of course lady moon is just as beautiful!
And That's All Folks!
As I said, it's a very slow process to put a quality post together, but I can just not get myself to do a single photo post. Years of posting have created my habit of at times doing long blogs and maybe this new slow process will force me into the habit of creating shorter and easier to read posts.
Of course original content will always remain paramount.
Note; All photos are my own, unedited and only cropped for uploading purposes.
Camera Used; Canon Powershot SX60 HD.
We hope that you have enjoyed the pictures and thank you for visiting
