FROM FAR AWAY


 From a dog walk yesterday. I dug out my old Nikon Coolpix P510 bridge camera that I bought in 2013. They're still on Amazon, selling for $145.00 in the US. I bought it mainly for its 42x zoom, which is equivalent to up to 1000mm. Cheaper than buying a zoom lens of that equivalent. I only use it for far-away shots, and it has rarely disappointed me. This duck, resting on  a log in the Danube, was quite far away, and the photo quality is decent. The downside is that the battery does not last so long, so I have to carry a spare. But I do that anyway with my new Nikon mirrorless, so.....

IT'S DRY

Hot and dry. Leaves on the ground crunch when you walk through them and it seems the green ones are hanging on for dear life.
