Wanna see a paraglider over 3 miles away?

By Ray on August 18, 2008 - 12:08pm

Using the new camera on 24X combined optical & digital zoom, looking at a paraglider coming down off the top of Grouse Mountain, which is over three miles away as the crow flies, the best I could do was this one. So now we know why nobody recommends or sings the praises of digital zoom. Optical is the only way to fly and now you've seen why. This is why those experts pack telephoto lenses half the size of the nearest hydro pole, and almost as long.

Using my camera at night....

This is my attempt at capturing the lights and some faint outlines of the buildings in British Properties, in West Vancouver. This was taken just before it really began to get daylight this morning, and even though the thumbnail here looks very dark, if you click over to the larger one, there really is something in this picture.
