Franklin Ave Bridge over the Mississippi River.  Mpls. MN Bowl and Shadow Grand daughter Chrissy, for our camera club's "Blue" Challenge. 40 years ago it was NBD to ride 60 miles to a B&B for a ...

Bill, I have never been able to get such lunar detail with my P900. Were you at high altitude? I'm at about 800' above sea level. Or combining multiple shots? Looks oversharpened in the thumbnail, ...

Kittens eyes are often blue but most change as they mature. Same cat, 16 years apart. Raleigh, so named because he was born the same day I finished restoring a '70s Raleigh Sport bicycle, exactly ...

Just. Out. Of. Reach. Who you lookin' at? No longer feral, Bigfoot has a friend and a pillow. Don't come any closer!

These Ukrainian Easter Eggs saved lives Or at least the skill to create them did. When the Germans over ran the Ukraine in WW2 the Soviet occupiers retreated, taking all the transportation with ...

I may be Saturday in OZ but it's still Flashback Friday in the US. Here's a Great Gray Owl taken in 2005 with an FZ10. Not bad for 4Mp and 10x Another difference from OZ is that it was -18 F. (-28 ...

I seem to have lost my ZS60 and am thinking about replacing it with a ZS200. I like to take a small camera anytime I don't plan to commit photography, just for the unexpected photo op. A few days ...

I liked mine. Go to Flikr or similar site and search for photos or groups with the tag “zs-60” to see what results people are having, taking the sort of photos you intend to use it for. BTW what do ...

Our first shots of a Pileated Woodpecker, in the wild, in good light. Sometimes I think the best investment I ever made in “photographic equipment” was in 1968, for the wedding band on Jane’s left ...

Great topic, lending itself to so many possibilities. And thanks for the HM.

A few exhibits from our neighborhood. All taken within a mile from home. Skaters on Lake Nokomis - Minneapolis MN Ice looks dirty because the sun is so low that every ripple cast a shadow. Hibernat ...

27 (at least) Deer Panorama - Fort Snelling State Park, Minnesota USA At the time I took this, it was the only panorama ever entered in the Panasonic forums Weekly Wildlife Challenge. Probably ...

Friday was my 1st bike ride in 2 months, after having a couple of stents put in my coronary arteries 4 days earlier. We don't take our "good" cameras on the bikes unless we plan on committing ...

One photo with my 1st "real" camera, a Panny FZ10 and my most recent photo, with my RX10iv Birches Reflected on Wet Ice       St. Louis River, Jay Cooke State Park Minnesota After a rare early ...

They look fine to me. But all that matters is if you like them. Doesn’t matter how well a photo stands up to pixel peeping, if sometime in the future, it reminds you of a pleasant walk or other event.

Very nice. I believe that water is the one thing that you need a fast shutter if you want to show it’s speed and power. Within it’s range the RX10iv is amazing. But I often take along a Nikon P900 ...

Thanks for the HM for the girls on ice. All these years later, I imagine their kids don’t think of them as “fun”. I’ll send them prints.

Not good photos, most scanned from old prints. But unique Modes of Transportation I ran a large Human Powered Vehicle club for 20 years and we built some rather odd contraptions. The most fun we ...

Thanks to recommendations on this forum, I’ve recently bought 3 Ebay FZ35s, for 3 completely different reasons. 1. For a youngster. Because kids tend to break things. In this case, my 11 y/o great ...
