A Beautiful Day With My New Camera

in , by Julie Nichols, August 14, 2013
Yay, my new camera arrived today!  The weather is beautiful so I thought I would go outside and test it by taking a few photos.  It is a point and shoot Nikon Coolpix  L810 with a wide optical zoom.  It is not as fancy as my other camera (The One I Dropped) but a good replacement and one I think I will be happy with for a while.

The first photos I took are of sunflowers growing in a field in our tiny village.

I am standing on the other side of a fence
I didn't want to trespass on the property so I took these using my zoom

On the way home I stopped at a horse farm


He was the only one out today

 The zoom is great on this camera!
In the last picture, you can see how far away I was standing when I took this shot.

It looks like he spotted me taking his picture.
I love horses they are so sweet.

The clouds rolled in fast
Nature is an ever-changing canvas.  I love it.

It is fun taking pictures of nature.  How about you? 
 Do you enjoy it and what pictures do you like to take?
I would love to know.

  9. That's a great shot with the truck in the midst of the sunflowers. It looks as though the flowers rushed up to surround the truck with sunshiney love. You're having fun with your new camera!

  10. Congrats on getting a new camera! I think Nikon makes some great cameras! (haha, of course, I own Nikons!) I love those sunflower ones. The large fields are so impressive, and the addition of the old vehicle and the backlighting really compliments the compositions.

  15. Hi Julie, my first time here. I love your camera, and i can't imagine it can get a good focus for that horse in that distance. Even if i have a DSLR i also always carry a PnS as buddy! However mine is not as powerful as that.

  24. My husband is a professional artist and paints lots of trucks. That truck looks so beautiful in the sunflowers. Where is it? If it was anywhere near, we would be photographing it immediately for a painting.
