1. Poor you. That's a shame.
  2. I tried my best to find that butterfly but .. wait, oh here is it, a little tiger. Really beautiful one

  3. Hehe, yep It was trying to stealth... But nothing hides from my camera
  4. Impressive zoom. How does the large zoom work when hand held?
  5. Very impressive then.
  6. All ofmy pics have been taken handheld except that one at night. Zoom shakes a bit, of course, but a little bit of fine pulse and right breathing and you're done
  7. Right breathing...essential ability to take good shots, specialy when you have a 250mm lens like mine. It took me some months to realize that, by the way...

    Looking forward to see more pics from you Sergio
  8. Some techniques here for ways of using your body to steady the camera a bit more. I use the tucked in elbows and knee tripod often. Using the knee obviously limits your perspective to a lower one, but it's good for shooting things in the garden or getting down to pets/children eye level.

    I'd also like to add that the site I linked to has some good articles and tips posted if you are willing to look around.
  9. What I need is true insight and tips on concert photography. I never seem to get shutter speed/exposure right I know the basics and the theory, but I can't never make it to work as it should. I expect it to be easier with this camera's controls and lens (biggest problem of the compact cameras is the small lens, which allows very little light to come in so they tend to overexpose and/or give overly long shutter speeds so images are overexposed and/or blurry)... Let's see, let's see.
  10. The Elbows In technique is very usefull here when I'm taking pics of planes...It's good if you're trying to do those beautiful panning images

    And you're getting used with your new camera Sergio. It takes some time to do it, but you'll find the best settings just by using it.
