Stevie Boy Blue

PS: I’d overlooked how you have the camera set to take photos once focus is achieved. You need to change this, as the setting will not be helping in the slightest in terms of accuracy. Choose the ...

Thank you for acknowledging my efforts; pleased you find they’re the most useful. :-) Sorry, but as I’ve explained before (maybe somewhere above in this thread), you’re not donating enough pixels ...

Thanks for the reply here, Jim. Yes, I guess the article is fairly substantial and it should also prove useful to any newcomers to the forum who are eager to learn. I can’t believe it’s 8-years ago ...

Looking good. I found a great thing about buying my second FZ330 was that I simply had to dial in all my settings from the first to be off to the best possible start. No more playing about, as I’d ...

Thank you, Jim. I appreciate the post, and intend to take an extended break in due course. :-) Cheers...

Thanks for that. I appreciate your honesty and I’m pleased the setting (s) work for you. :-) Cheers

I don’t usually photograph birds surrounded by branches as to me they never make for the best results. I was, however, out practicing recently with my FZ2000 and got the chance to shoot some cute ...

The FZ200’s fine for birding if you can put up with having to re-set the small focus box (the better option of all for wildlife photography) every time you switch the camera off and back on again. ...

As promised via PM, Jim, here’s that thread/article I constructed a few years ago, with just one caveat that I may have forgotten to mention originally. Truth is, I don’t have time to reread it ...

Collectively, I’d like to thank all of you for the positive comments you made in my direction on the thread here and which unfortunately reached its posting limit before I could respond: https://ww ...

Well done for obtaining the FZ300. As you may or may not know, I'm a huge fan of it and have written loads about the camera here on DPR. :-) I'm sure you'll very much enjoy using your new toy and I ...

You’re welcome. Glad to have been of limited help. I’m sure that you’ll find the FZ2500 a very useful tool for your requirements and I reckon you’ve possibly made the best choice going with a ...

Hi Just looked at your website; well done for setting it up. :-) Re your question here: Compared the FZ2000 (2500), the only advantage I can see to using the FZ300 is its weather sealing. In terms ...

I’m okay with Steve, my real name, or Stevie, or Stevie Boy (Blue), or even SBB, thanks. :-) Frightening ‘people’ away may be an exaggeration here though, Mike. To date, I know of only one person ...

Jshen and Mike. I don’t usually respond to criticism or nitpicking but I have to disagree. It may be marketed for enthusiasts but the FZ330 should be easily grasped by anyone who’s used to using ...

Lovely shot. I would like to see a version with the background blacked (contrasted) out. I suspect it would look great with the snowy foreground. Either way, I like it. Well caught. :-) Cheers

Nice shot. I love the larger native species of Kestrel we have here in the UK, and would really like to see your smaller American variety up close. :-) Cheers

Thank you for the migraine-med tip. Unfortunately I’m allergic to all anti-inflammatory meds in the Aspirin and Ibuprofen range, so I make do with the comparatively very expensive sumatriptan. ...
