Hi BalaRamraj

Thank You for sharing your .jpgs. They are very nice.

I have yet to see one ray of sunshine since I unboxed my SX60.

One hint, if I may. Your egret and pelicans are a little over exposed. This is very common. I have had most of the Canon super zooms since the beginning. All that glass can show flaring. Also the tiny sensors don't have a lot of dynamic range. Over exposing can magnify these normal weaknesses. Try exposing your shots for subject and not for the background. Your SX60 will surprise you on how well in can do. Steady, steady steady, is the other key.

Thanks for including the exif data too.

Ken

Thanks Ken for taking time to provide highly constructive feedback. I agree with your comments on over exposure and I'll try to improve in my next outings.

BTW, your other posts on SX60 (your signature 'pole' pictures in particular) are nicer to know more about this camera. And your SOOC pics from local park are impressive too. Thanks for sharing and looking for more insights from you for better fine-tuning on SX60.

Thanks, Bala.
