Hi there everyone, I hope that you're all doing well and having a brilliant time with family and friends as much as possible this xmas!
So as some of you know, I bought myself a xmas present just before xmas, as the $400 discount was just too good to miss.
I bought myself a Nikon Coolpix P950 bridge camera- the first βproperβ camera in over 20 years and although I have a long history with photography in the analogue era, I have had zero experience with still cameras in the digital era (though I have a few digital prosumer video cameras), so I have a bit of a learning curve and since I bought it, I havenβt had much of a chance to take it for a run due to wet weather and work in the city.
So here I am in the country for the first time in 9 months out of the city and taking advantage of the good weather (finally) and getting to know the camera better, finding out where all the functions buttons are and how they work to do what I want.
So today I sat in the shade in the backyard (it was still 30c) and got my Bokeh on and here are the results.
I canβt wait to get out there tonight in the clear sky to get some stars happening and more moon shots away from the city lights.
So I hope that you enjoy the results of my experiments.
This is my model, Lilly.
And here's some more of my models, wildflowers down in the back paddock
And some spiderweb covered barbed wire separating the backyard from the paddock
Zooming about halfway through the valley up to the hill. And bearing in mind, when I say zooming in halfway, the P950 has a 24- 2000mm zoom lens....
Testing out the different DOFs in the tree to see the results
And just a cool monochrome shot of the sun behind the tree
Thank you so much for reading my post, I really hope that you enjoyed it and look forward to your comments and thoughts and if you're interested, here are some more photos of this gorgeous paddock that I took yesterday on my iphone so you can see it in it's full, flamboyant beauty. @chocolatescorpi/a-wednesday-walk-transition-into-a-new-state-and-a-new-year
