To be honest we considered a long lens but having read up about them and taking plus and minuses into account the lens on my camera is fine even at a long distance. It's an 24X optical zoom - it is the burst firing though that makes the difference. You end up with lots of shots to sift through but there is usually something worth keeping.Sue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-40547610471018249822012-04-05T16:17:35.659+00:002012-04-05T16:17:35.659+00:00Definitely Nessie Liz!

I've been trying to photograph a Chaffinch in my garden, but I have so far failed to get a decent shot.

Would you believe that we saw a deer a couple of weeks ago on the roundabout on Selby Road near Sainsbury's? We couldn't believe our eyes when we first saw it, but apparently they've been spotted there a number of times by other people. My mum and dad used to get pheasants in their garden all the time, they're real characters and great to watch.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-60808652972536863992012-04-05T11:33:07.516+00:002012-04-05T11:33:07.516+00:00Great pics Sue!
