Penguins at Boulders

We took a trip down the coast to test my zoom lens. I was rather disappointed as the zoom is so much better on my old camera.
Ah, I'm sorry to hear you are disappointed. But I have to say, those penguins and the water color add up to make. a pretty good image!

Nice capture of the penguin beach.

This is still a very nice image. If you still have your old camera you could use it when you need to have the zoom range and use this one for everything else.
February 7th, 2021  
Excellent.
But still: zebra, lions, penguins? What's next?

That water though...
February 7th, 2021  
the bridge cameras tend to have awesome zoom
February 7th, 2021  
Nope! This is amazing! Penguins and the bluest of water!

Ah, I've been to Boulders Beach. I remember it so well. The kids were little, and we stayed in a rented house in Fish Hoek, overlooking False Bay, called 'Whale of a Time'. And we did have a whale of a time. This is a beautiful photo and brings back lots of very happy memories for me. Thank you.

February 7th, 2021  

They look as though they are having a beach party.
February 7th, 2021  
So very beautiful...

Nice capture of Boulders. I haven't been there in many years. I always love the penguins. The sea looks amazing. What zoom lens did you get?
February 7th, 2021  
Beautiful capture, like the water color.
February 7th, 2021  
It’s a lovely scene, the water color is amazing as well. I’m so sorry you aren’t happy with your zoom, I think this shot is great.
February 7th, 2021  
LOL! What a shot. I wonder why? I would think a newer camera would be better.
February 7th, 2021  
Love penguins and look at the colour of the water - wow!
February 7th, 2021  
Sorry you are disappointed with the zoom. Still a lovely image
February 7th, 2021  
Frustrating when the new gear doesn’t live up to expectations. But this is a great scene, with lovely composition.
February 7th, 2021  
Wonderful capture.
February 7th, 2021  
What lens did you get? this is a gorgeous shot, love the whole scene and the blue waters. I find penguins the cutest .

Well it looks fabulous to me! Fav.
February 7th, 2021  
Love this one! It’s so difficult to imagine penguins on any kind of landscape except ice! FAV
February 7th, 2021  
Wonderful capture, composition...love the rocks
February 7th, 2021  
This is beautiful,... and made me happy. Pinguins, the colour of the water, and the boulders. Sorry you are disappointed,...
February 7th, 2021  
I like the blue of the water and the rock at the front that makes you expect that there are more penguins to discover behind.
February 7th, 2021  
It is a lovely capture!
February 7th, 2021  
lovely image! That water is gorgeous and I love the penguins.
February 7th, 2021  
Still a wonderful capture!
February 7th, 2021  
oh dear that's a shame to be disappointed. on the other hand this looks amazing to me!
February 7th, 2021  
Very nice
February 7th, 2021  
This looks fab!

I am still hanging on to my bridge camera because it takes the best moon shots- even better than my zoom on the T3i. I use my zoom for other things- like bird shots- but the Powershot will always be the go-to moon camera! This is still a nice shot- the color is beautiful!

It may not be what you had hoped for, but it is still a very nice photo.
February 8th, 2021  
Bummer re your zoom
February 8th, 2021  
Feels like we are watching a performance here!
February 8th, 2021  
The vibrant water is mesmerizing. I love this shot.
February 8th, 2021  
The zoom effect may not be as strong, but it sure comes in clear and sharp.

@jyokota @kwiksilver @louannwarren @marlboromaam @njmom3 @ljmanning @dutchothotmailcom @jgpittenger @rickster549 Thanks everyone, I am very happy with the camera and other lenses. I got the Canon IS 70-300. I guess I am just spoilt with the range of the Lumix, especially for birding. I also do not like the idea of having to change lenses when I need to get closer shots. This is a first for me, and I was not aware of the differences. I will try to change the lens for a Tamron 16-300 :-)
February 8th, 2021  
@ludwigsdiana I'll look forward to hearing your assessment of such a lens -- wow, from super wide to zoomy!
February 8th, 2021  
Cool!
February 8th, 2021  
Great shot of the penguins. Love the colour of that water too.
February 8th, 2021  
aha! Simonstown
