I do these SPRINGTIME ADVENTURES with an old compact camera Panasonic DMC fz7, old and not in very good shape, the zoom doesn't work(you must absolutely get close to the things you photograph or far enough for landscapes), fleshlight doesn't work :) and the monitor occasionally has strange blinks and stutters ...of course, these photographs look good on small format like here on the blog, for bigger prints you have to use a professional gear ... I do this '' bad equipment '' work a bit for a challenge to myself ... and to show to the others the possibilities of small inexpensive cameras that one can easily afford and have a great time if interested in the small wonders of nature. 10 or so years ago, when I was more into the photography I was using more professional equipment. I upload those pictures too, from time to time.
