    Bought a new compact yesterday, a Canon SX60HS with a 65x optical zoom so tried a few shots this morning. All hand held with various zoom levels and 'auto' setting.
    A bit better than the HTC phone but not up the standards of you guys with the DSLR's. However, I needed a reasonably compact, all round camera for travel.

    This is one of my few bird shots i'm happy with...

    The pros generally recon one in 350 shots is generally a keeper......

    We try for Birds In Flight which is a major challenge most of the time..

    Untouched photo I took recently of an Alpine Chough 3000m above sea level when he was taking a little walk. Cute little guy.

    dragged into the local bookstore this evening by the girl of my dreams and spotted a hard cover copy of Neville W Cayley's "what bird is that?" on special for $30 while I wandered round trying to look half intelligent...

    snavelled it and started to browse through it when I got home...

    beautiful book with marvellous illustrations

    weighs a bloody ton!

    have to start looking them up as I snap them now......
