Dad hunting I want some more. What? Find my own?

Thanks Rob, A mixture of Aus and SE Asia birds.

I too went from the HS20 to the HS50. The HS30 had much better macro than the HS60; I ended up getting a Cannon 250D which transformed the HS50 macros. Enjoy the HS30. Still miss my Fuji. Dicky.

I haven't been able to contribute anything for a while, but I would be very sorry to see the Sunday bird come to an end. Dicky.

Excellent results!

An OM-D EM-1 II at  AU$2199 - I'm sorely tempted, but my next overseas travel is also more than 60 days away. I also think they have lowered the GST rebate allowance and the EM-1 II will be now ...

Some very sharp images Denis. Very high ISO does yield good results these days. I posted an image at ISO 12800 on Andrews thread; without it I wouldn't have got a shot. I am getting a little ...

A tiny yellow flower at the beach. The last of the afternoon sun. I have always thought ISO above 3200 a waste of time. But I saw a stream of insects heading into the mangroves - so I made a bee ...
