Waxwing and Rowan Berries

In the last post I tested zoom in my new Canon PowerShot SX730 HS. This photo I took also using the same camera. Distance to bird was about three four meters.

Place: Tornio, Finland
Photo: Waxwing and Rowan Berries
Date: 15th of March, 2018

Camera: Canon PowerShot SX730 HS
Shot: 1/160 sec. f/5.6 61.899mm ISO160

Editing: Clarity, contrast and just a little bit cropping.

So far the camera has worked well. There are still some new features for me in the camera like using mobile phone as a remote control to camera via bluetooth, which I haven't tested yet.

Coot and Reflection

It's spring time here in North Finland and it's possible to see more and more birds every day.

This is interesting time of the year to take photos, because you never know what you will see this time.

Barnacle Geese

I was biking, when I saw a flock of barnacle geese.

Place:   Haparanda, Sweden
Target: Flock of barnacle geese (Branta leucopsis) on the water
Date:    20th of August, 2016

Camera: Canon EOS 60D
Lens: Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS
Shot: 1/320 sec. f/9 84mm ISO100

Barnacle geese are not so common here in North Finland and Sweden yet, but looks like there are anyway more and more.

Swan with the babies

Here are two photos of the same swan. There is only one day difference in the photos, but something happened during that one day.

Place: Haparanda, Sweden
Target: Swan with the babies
Date: 11/12th of June, 2016

Camera: Canon EOS 60D
Lens: EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS

Next day the swan was not alone anymore. It was with the small babies.

I went to check the nest also next day, but it was already empty.
