SX50 Bif's

Been reading about how the sx50 can't take bif's. Granted, I'm still learning but they can be done. These were done on trip to Circle Bar B ranch in Lakeland, FL. (Saw a fellow there with huge lens on his camera, told me there was an eagle in a tree way off in the distance. I couldn't even identify the tree let alone an eagle in it but shot it anyway and lucked out as you can tell by the picture.) I'll bet he still thinks I got nothing!

Welcome malawibob
Well done! You will find several here who post shots using the sx50. Yes, BIFs can be done as you learned. (I even posted a couple yesterday) The sx50 is a really fun camera. Look forward to seeing more from you.

Super shots! I would be thrilled with that egret!

I also love the eagle image. Because of the distance, and the pretty setting, I'm glad you didn't crop more closely. Looks great this way! The greens are a tad vivid, which happens with this camera, but that's easily corrected, or if you enjoy as-is, that's good too :)
