On May 6, 2011 I took a trip with my mother to Harrisville, NH to visit her friend. While there I counted birds and took numerous photos. I used two different cameras. I am posting two of the photos here for comparison. I liked the color and the composition in both.
Recently we bought a Nikon Coolpix S4000 so that we could take snapshots more easily. The Coolpix is small and slim and easy to carry. for me, it also means that I can get landscape shots without having to change the lens all the time on my D80. I like to have it at the ready for bird shots and when Gus is not with me to take all the landscape photos, the Coolpix comes in handy. Both these photos were taken on the same day at the same time. You can easily see the difference.
Happy Skywatch Friday!
Both are really great photos, nicely done. If I hadn’t seen the top shot first, I would have been completely satisfied with the pic from the S4000. I also notice that while looking at the bottom photo, I am left with the feeling that I want to get around that corner and closer to the church. Thanks for sharing both, it was fun to compare and contrast.

The pocket compacts are now so very versatile ... I carry one most of the time for the same reason.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend Kathie.
Kathie, your photos are so beautiful. I do so love the New England states.
ReplyDeleteCan you take videos with your D80?? I have the D 40 and am looking fore something that I can take videos and record bird-song with. I cannot lug something really heavy around with me because of my heart but would love to have something that I can get better bird shots with. Cam you help?
Beautiful skies and scenery, Kathie!
