I've been playing around with my new camera, trying to learn it. I managed to kill yet another camera and have gotten a Nikon to play with this time. So, anywho here are a few pictures that I've taken that I've liked with it...got lots to learn still, but I'm gettin there.

A little blue heron that just sat as I passed by in the boat when I was out snipe hunting this past weekend.

I got into an area where the snipe were holding real tight.

A few sanderlings from the beach.

I've got a few more somewhere that I like...I'll put them up when I find em...but I'm having fun with the new camera.

Great photos, thanks for sharing. Is Snipe hunting a big thing in FL like it is in TX? Tell someone from here that you are going Snipe hunting and they will laugh .... thinking it's a joke.
 
Dani,

Always fun to kill a chunk of technology so you can learn how to operate a new item--just expensive HAHA!!. A DSLR? I am still using an old Nikon FE film body. The digital cameras I have are point and shoot, and are used mostly for family and work.

Keep up the photo taking, nice stuff.

Nikon Coolpix P90. It's sort of a cross between the DSLR and the P&S varieties. The lens on it is a 24x optical Zoom-NIKKOR ED Glass Lens, f2.8-f5 (26-624mm). It's a fun little camera.
 
Really nice pictures. What you call a snipe. Similar to a woodcock or are they the same bird?
 
Peter a woodcock is a bigger bird than a snipe.
take care and God Bess

which is a great ID for her cause usually she has pictures of Dowtichers that she thinks are Snipe....(ahhh snappy retort inbound)......

THIS is a Woodcock....

Not that much "bigger" as far as length and wingspan but definately more "robust"......different habitats, although I have shot them both in the same places on rare occassions....Snipe will be in more open areas, often with standing water.....Woodcock will be in the thick stuff...there can be puddles of water and they might be "around it" but they won't wade in it like Snipe will.....Snipe flush low and fast.....Woodcock typically flush vertically, climb to the crown of the vegetation, and then level off.....Snipe can startle you when they flush close....Woodcock always startle you, at least me, when they flush close, (close as in up your pants leg which requires you pulling your zipper down so they can get out)......

Eddie's Woodcock is a different species...bigger...heavier....not as round in the wings as ours and if I remember they fly more like our Snipe...(thats a very "general" statement cause i've seen Snipe "tower" and I've seen worm raper Woodcock......

Hey...I can tell a snipe from a dowitcher. I'm not the one who said...snipe never flock in large numbers. YOU"RE the one who told me if i'm seeing large flocks of "snipe" I'm seeing dowitchers. And THEN you change your tune when you finally see these quite large flocks of snipe that I was seeing.

Not your typical photogenic bird, but since I think they're kinda pretty I couldn't resist....

week or two.....

If it is then it will likely take her another week or two to render it into "decoy anchor" status......

Nick-

Waterproof? No....keep it out of the water.....

Freezeproof? Probably not more than any of Nikon's other point and shoot digitals...which I don't know how much that might or might not be.

Dani
 
Geesh....give me a month at least on how long it'll take me to kill it....I keep it in it's little foam padded box....that's gotta count for something....though doesn't help when it's in my hands. Ah well....good thing I got a service plan that covers dropping the camera....the service men and I ought to be great friends by the time I get a new camera....
 
Thanks Ron. Bet you can get your limit REAL QUICK with a canon eh?

Hope you get some good ones. Going for ringnecks or teal or mottled ducks? Or all of whatever comes in?
