VHD-Tex Loc: Mc Allen Tx.

Received the 200 several weeks ago and after taking many shots of garbage cans, passing cars, folks out for a walk, etc…..I finally made out to my favorite ranch to shoot some really wild ones. I have sold all my big stuff because I just can't tote (love that word) lit around anymore. There were many good choices from the list of bridge cameras and I choose the FZ200. I did not realize that I was purchasing a computer that takes pictures on the side. What a learning experience. I purchased a 1.7 teleconverter and I still don't understand its use as it does not seem to bring the subjects any closer. Back to the book I purchased (Graham Haughton) and the You Tube as I have just not absorbed the total workings of this camera. Here are a few shots from the ranch memorial day. Hoping to see deer and other large mammals but they were in hiding. Much like many of our hedge huggers.

I'm mad as hell you hear me.

Some very nice pictures. That ground squirrel is cute.

I have an FZ150 and use it with a TCON 17 can tell the difference so feel you should be able to tell. Try mounting on a tripod or laying stable and shooting something with lines with and without the converter and see what happens. Or shoot the moon. With my camera I never bother using the tele converter setting.

Excellent, creative shots, VHD-Tex! Love that little ground squirrel (but then squirrels are my favorites!).
