VTMatwood Loc: Displaced Vermonta in Central New Hampsha

Hi All, Recently took a business trip to Tampa and got out for a long lunch. I took these from the boardwalk at Lettuce Lake with a Panasonic Lumix FZ-70 that I very recently picked up on EBay for $147. This is my first photo set from that camera. It is certainly different from my Nikon D5300! It seems to be a great all around camera to carry on trips when I am not certain that I will get out and shoot. Below are my favorites... constructive feedback is always welcome!

Thanks!

My very first insect photo ever :)

I am not sure if B&W is all that for this pic... thought the shadows might look more intriguing in B&W

OK, OK, no excuse for my not going!! I live in tampa! Yes, I too am a believer in smaller cameras, tho this is a "bridge" it is still more convenient than a 40# bag of glass. Ya, with a 1200mm lens yet!

For those of us who do not know about this particular camera:
