Zoom In



It was such a clear day at the gardens and I wanted to test my zoom lens. I got lucky with this airplane. I never would have been able to catch these shots with my old camera, especially the last one. It was pretty cool.

What a fantastic sky watch.

Blue, blue and blue, how fresh it is.
Whoa! Those are great shots Jo! May I ask what camera are you using?

Oh my, you did a super job catching that flying plane in the last one! I love the contrails and trees in the other ones too.

FABULOUS capture. I just love watching these planes? rockets? in the sky as a kid. from where we stand it's the only time they seemed slow. ;-)

Nice shots...I wish I were on board, heading anywhere. This being grounded is so hard for me. You know, it's been six months since I boarded an international flight, Jo, and I've only done that one short four day cruise since I got back from Europe in October. How my life has changed....when just seeing a jet's trail can excite me!

Oh wow! That last shot is fabulous!! It makes me quite certain that I need a new camera.

Rainfield, yes it was a gorgeous day that day :)

Mrs.M., thank you. It's the Olympus sp-600UZ I have a widget on my sidebar for it. It's a 12 megapixel with a 15X zoom lens.

Diane, thank, it was fun

Self, yeah and I always thought they were pretty slow as well until I tried getting them on camera, they can go pretty fast :)

Carmen, I know it's been tough but it can only get better.

Emm, :) thank you.

What splendid skyshots you have here. I do agree that the last picture is a great shot.

They are super shots, Jo. Just the opposite of the fantastic ones in your last and many other posts. You really do have a great camera there.

Beautiful sky pictures, and amazing capture of the jet lines!
Now you futher my interests at new equipment. Trying to decide if I need a new point and shoot with higher zoom such as 20-28 or get a huge lens for the dslr, or both.Alwys something better and newer to play with.
