Picture Of The Week (POW) Information & Submissions

[catjac1975]

Cat, I am using an older model Nikon Coolpix that I have had for several years. It is tiny and rugged so I can carry it in my pocket when I am hiking. Also, I have a large quality digital SLR that I use for more serious work, but I find myself using mostly the little Nikon. It does wide angle and close up photography and is simple to use. That said, the little old professional photographer who taught me photography always told me: "It is not the equipment, it is how you use it."

I have been using a cool pix and am surprised at the quality. My SLR died and I need to replace it. I definitely need more for my daylily closeups.. You could not have taken those lovely bird photos with the little cool pix, did you? Your instructor is correct but, some situations need more quality tech.

Wow! I am happy that you like my Rascal photo as much as I did. The snow is gone and today he started his day with the usual mud bath. Thanks!

@digitS' Steve, add a new character to my list. This popped out of the camera today. Any guesses or should I tell you?

Once again I am honored. I never knew there were so many bird lovers on TEG.

Here is one I like, it is thinking: I hope I got this right: lower the landing gear, deploy flaps, reduce air speed and stall.

Birds are an important part of a backyard. But I think it's more your skill with the camera. You really take Amazingly clear and close-up shots. Simply beautiful.
