Getting Serious Now!
Hi ...
To date I've been using my trusty old iPhone 5 to capture images. The results are OK ... especially now that I've learnt how to lock focus ... but it has a couple of shortcomings.
The first is lack of optical zoom. This is especially necessary for birds ... it's not capable of recording a hawk cruising the cliff tops or a group of swans floating on the ocean.
And then there's the inability to get underwater shots. I have a first-generation GoPro that I can use underwater, but it doesn't have zoom either and nor does it have a flash.
SO ... I've lashed out and purchased an Olympus TG5 - 4x optical zoom, waterproof to 15m and a heap of cool features that will take me forever to understand, let alone use!
Just waiting for the SD card to arrive next week and then it will be time to "get serious" :-)
Cheers,
Warwick
