Distance..

I have bought a new camera after the one with the good zoom that I bought 8 years ago has now given up completely! I chose this new one for its heavy duty zoom but didn't realise how heavy it is! My old one 383gms, this one 1.5kilos! This is a picture of the Observatory Village (care home) that is built on the opposite hill with a wide valley in between us. New villas are being built.

Thankful for some strength in my arms but now I'm working with weights to be able to hold this camera!

A lovely view - hopefully your new camera doesn't prove to be too heavy!

Great capture of this wonderful view. Enjoy your new toy :-)

Terrific photo especially with that new zoom! Good for you to work on the weights instead of giving up on the camera

A lovely view. Do you have a strap that takes the pressure of your neck? That would help.

Wonderful rural shot

A brilliant start…love this long view….almost like having binoculars…..you can take photos to spy on everyone! Love you can see the white pampas grasses!

@bill_gk It does have a strap which goes over my shoulder when I'm out and can lever it up to be reasonably steady using that strap, Bill

@happypat I never noticed the toi tois, Pat! The camera is good for close as well as so far!

[Maggiemae]

@grammyn I could actually practice with the camera as a weight, Katy!

[Maggiemae]

@dide I'll never give in, Dianne - but I am getting older. Will just have to keep strong!

Beautiful rural scene. Lovely tones.
