I got out and used my camera today...

[Krazy Kruizers]

The Ferocious Castle Squirrel - taken at Chapultapec Castle, Mexico City

 

 

 

The Snooty Pyramid Lizard - Teotihuacan, Mexico

 

 

 

The Mexican Monarch (Probably not a Monarch, but I was looking for alliteration :D)

 

 

 

I love the pictures.

Interesting squirrel - looks like he can't decide if he's a red squirrel or a gray one.

Took these sunrise pictures this morning from my backyard. We are under a flash flood warning. Yesterday parts of my city received 2 1/2 inches of rain in one hour and DID flood. I didn't get that cloud over my house, luckily !!!

What type of camera does everyone use? I have a Sony RX100 but am looking to add either a Micro 4/3 or Bridge Superzoom for our upcoming alaskan cruise.

As you have apparently come to realize, the best camera for all situations is two oe three cameas!:D

 

I carried a P&S along with my DSLR for years and was quite happy. Recently, I bought a NEX to go along with my A77 as a second "big" camera and it has instead become my go-to camera. It has the same sensor as the DSLR (50% larger than 4/3) and is smaller than even the Nikon 1 series which has the same size sensor as you RX100. Except for Alaska where I hope to see wildlife, I have started to leave the DSLR at home and travel with the NEX and my P&S.

If you like your Sony RX-100, you may want to check out their NEX cameras.

I also have the RX100, great pocket camera. I enjoy widlife photography and do not want to carry a bunch of lenses. I now have the Panasonic FZ200 25-600mm 2.8 see review

great camera, work great for me in Alaska.

Just bought the Sony HX-300 24-1200mm see review

http://www.cameralabs.com/reviews/Sony_Cyber-shot_HX300/

This camera will be wonderful for super telephoto shots. Bought at Amazon.com for $448.00, though for that price and range was worth a try.

In Alaska the more range the better.

Hope this helps

I had the HX200V in Alaska and saw a lot of people with the HX300V. Unfortunately I didn't see a ton of wildlife. We did see some minke whales (I think) off the cruise ship. Do they bubble net feed?

Beautiful pictures.

We have been tons of flash flood warnings this summer -- more than any other summer. Thankfully we live on a very high hill and haven't been affected by the storms.

Beautiful flowers.

When the rains stop -- hopefully on Tuesday, I will try to get some flower pictures.

Love the pictures.

Before we retired we attended a couple of conventions in Hershey -- stayed at the Hershey Hotel and enjoyed their chocolate soup.

These are some photos taken at Quebec City, the end of July, this year. I was traveling past Quebec City by car and stopped for a quick visit.

 

The Hotel Chateau Frontenac which dominates the skyline from the river.

 

 

The Boardwalk above Lower Town with the Frontenac in the background. The reddish building on the left is the USA Consulate. The Pink building beside it is a hotel.

 

 

This becomes a frozen Toboggan slide during the winter for the traditional wooden toboggans. They have gravel to slow and stop the toboggans at the end of this slide. This is set up not far from the Chateau Frontenac on the boardwalk for winter use.

 

 

A park in Old Quebec City near the Chateau Frontenac.

 

 

Town Square in Lower Town not far from where the cruise ships dock.

Beautiful and the music was perfect.

Beautiful City

We have been there a dew times -- via cruise ship -- and walked and walked.

Had to recuperate with a drink at the Chateau Frontenac.

Love the music with the balloons.

It has been years since we have seen a balloon in our area.

Well -- we had one on Saturday which came down and hit a house about a mile from us -- and I missed it all. Had to watch it on the news.

Wow! Great pictures everyone!

 

Here's one I took at the local Dahlia show on Sunday.

I have been shooting stills for years. Now with the upgrade to a Canon T4i that also shoots video, it is an opportunity to learn new skills with one camera instead of two. I did several video shoots over the last weekend at a Wine Crush in North Georgia. Lots of clips and lots of learning. This is improving my abilities prior to our next cruise in the Eastern Med. Yes it is nice to get out and use the camera, every day if possible!

There was a time when the Dahlia shows were held in our local malls -- not any more -- and I miss them.
