MK1 Photography Blog

I took the Panasonic Lumix G9 and 100-400 on a bird photography expedition yesterday, of course the birds didn't play ball and so I decided just to do a little bit of photography. I spotted a red admiral butterfly sunning itself and flitting around the apple blossom tree. I managed a shot of it, the close focus of the large zoom lens is actually quite good. It makes it a nice close up  One funny thing is I tried to take a shot of a small bird and the camera didn't seem to make any noise and I couldn't hear the shutter or focus etc. So I removed the battery and re booted the camera no success? I became a tad frustrated as I couldn't use the camera meaningfully so what should one do in a situation like this? Refer to YouTube of course! It was a small two position switch on the front of the G9 was in the 'silent' setting  - doh! Anyway here are today's blog shots 

 The XF10 has been discussed on here many times and it's a great little camera 

Happy days another used Fuji XF10 has been sourced from a good friend of mine. Thanks again Lisa 🙂 I decided to invest in another after looking through my Lightroom photos and saw how many fine images it provides. My program showed that I used it for over 2700 shots and that made me think we'll why not? I plan to use it alongside my original Fujifilm Finepix X100 but the XF10 is going to be used for stock photography too. Yes it really is good enough for that. So dear reader wait for the next installment on here and many photos to come too, a mixture of my bird photography and Fuji every day images. The below images from my previous copy actually went me some money from stock photography!
