Shooting The Moon - Nikon P1000

Here's some quick example footage of the Nikon P1000 filming the Moon. A lot of people ask the question: Can the Nikon P900 [ More info on that model ] and P1000 actually get close-up footage of the Moon. Yes they can. The Moon is fascinating and quite mysterious, so it can be a lot of fun filming it because you never know what you might spot. I have seen footage of the Moon from someone on YouTube where they spotted UFOs (not sure if they were alien or space rock in origin) flying past the Moon. Anyway, the Moonlapse footage shows various zoom levels, including 3000mm, 6000mm and 12000mm (digital zoom). The P1000 is an amazing camera, good for long range work and fairly decent for astrophotography . The zoom is incredible. It can be found for sale a lot cheaper these days now with it being a few years old. #P1000Moon #NikonCoolpixP1000Price #Specs #P1000Zoom

Nikon P900 For Bird Photography (Birding)

When it comes to Bridge cameras, they are now widely accepted as the more versatile and affordable option for a large majority of non-professionals when it comes to features, zooming capabilities and image quality for the price. So many people want just one camera that can do it all, and with a good Bridge camera, that is basically what you get. Don't get me wrong, just like with DSLR's and everything in between, there's still a mountain of poor Bridge cameras to sift through to find the really good ones. But do some research online, read lots of reviews, and I'm sure you'll discover some of the true greats that are out there from brands like Nikon, Canon and Panasonic. All images in this post were taken with a Nikon P900 There are so many fantastic models to choose from, but not many really blow you away like the Nikon COOLPIX P900 does. Fair enough, it has no RAW option, is rather bulky (although not overly heavy), the battery life could be better, and is ...

Nikon Z7 Macro Video HD Sample

Here is a close up sample video of a Spider clearing his web of water drops early in the morning. This video was captured with a Nikon Z7 + superb Nikkor 105 micro G VR Lens. The Nikon Z7 seems to be an excellent camera. Lots of sample photographs available to view online. To see this macro footage at its highest quality setting change the YouTube settings on the video from Auto (480p) to 1080p HD. The Z7 is a 45.7 mega pixel full frame mirrorless camera that's aimed at the professional end of the market. Among many other features it also has 4K video, 8K time lapse, 9fps shooting, touchscreen high definition display, WiFi and Bluetooth. If you're a keen amateur and want to buy this incredible camera, it will cost you a pretty penny. Best UK Prices start at well over £2,000 for the camera with a lens + adapter and can be found for sale on various outlets online, including eBay. You can find it cheaper, brand new with FTZ adapter but no lens (just under £2,000). And if yo...

Astrophotography Images By Camera Type

From the Northern Lights, to Constellations and shooting the Moon, Astrophotography can be very exciting. Let's also not forget about UFO's, too, which seem to be getting photographed and filmed more than ever these days. The skies are filled with weird and wonderful imagery that's just waiting to be seized in time by you and your camera. When people think about amateur Astrophotography they usually associate it with expensive DSLRs. But DSLR's, while offering superb clarity for Astro scenes, can be the most expensive way to get started in this sector of photography. You see, most of the cheaper DSLRs come with a standard kit lens. This will not be able to offer much in the way of an extensive zoom range if you want to, for example, get some nice close up shots of the moon. Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) with what looks to be some pixel damage, taken with a Nikon-D50 So you will more than likely have to buy an additional lens, one with a much better zoom r...

Canon S2 IS First Impressions "Review"

First impressions. Those two words seems quite funny considering how old this camera now is. But I have recently purchased an S2, so they are relevant. This is certainly not an in-depth review on the Canon Powershot S2 IS, but more of a quick review / first impressions of what I like and dislike about this camera. First I'll cover what I don't like about this camera. Straight shooting: All images in this post (there's not many), except the ones of the camera itself, were taken with the S2 and have not been edited / enhanced in any way what so ever other than resized (made smaller). What's not so good Well, the two errors consisting of the memory card error issue and " change battery pack " message have been slightly annoying (now fixed). Although neither of them have been difficult to fix and don't present a serious problem really, so they are more of an annoyance than anything else. The electronic view finder (EVF). while it is an old camera...

A 16MB SD Memory Card

Yes, you read correct. A 16MB SD card. These days 16MB is tiny. It's crazy to think there was a time when it was the latest thing, and biggest capacity available. Although I don't think it remained that way for very long. I think these SD cards were supplied for free with cameras that came with no internal memory. I received one of these cards with a Canon PowerShot S2 IS bridge camera I recently bought. The camera wouldn't work, or a least couldn't take a picture until the 16MB memory card was inserted. A genuine Canon SDC card So I presume this is one of the earlier digital camera models that came with no internal memory and had to be supplied with an SD card to get the user started. I believe this storage size is still used in some games consoles, such as the Nintendo WII and Game Cube. And by the looks of things on eBay, still very sought after. Anyway, back to SD cards and cameras. How many pictures can a 16MB SD card hold That is solely dependant on th...

Samsung WB500 Digital Camera Review

Samsung WB500 digital camera review. Well more of a revisited / overview really. While I have owned quite a few DSLR's and Bridge Cameras over the years, I also use, and in many ways actually prefer to use on a daily basis, capable point and shoot cameras. Whilst not as high-tech as the many DSLR's, and usually with smaller sensors than both DSLR's and Bridge Cameras, point and shoots can still deliver some impressive results. Add to that how small most of them are, and that most of the newer models can also record HD video, and you can probably see why I prefer them as an everyday carry camera compared to their other, much bigger, and usually much more expensive counterparts. Dandelion with little bugs (Unedited) I'm a simple man. I see, I like, I shoot. Straight shooting: All images in this post have been taken with a Samsung WB500 and have not been enhanced in any way. The only edit has been to make the original images smaller as to not make this post too slow...

Blurred Image In EVF View Finder Fix

If you've just bought a digital camera that has an electronic view finder (EVF), and you have looked through the electronic view finder and discovered that the screen is all blurred and out of focus, there is an easy fix. For someone new to cameras, they may think that what they have bought is faulty. However, most of the time this is not the case. This "problem" is usually down to the Diopter being in need of adjustment. Some symptoms of this are: The EVF screen is blurry but the actual produced images, if shooting using auto focus, are still pretty sharp. But they won't be perfect if you are using the EVF when taking pictures because you are working with an out-of-focus inner screen. Even worse, taking pictures using manual focus will be a disaster, all of them will be out of focus. What and where is the Diopter The Diopter is a little dial / wheel type scroller that sits to the side of the electronic view finder. It controls the sharpness and focus of what y...

Nikon COOLPIX P1000 Vs P900 Super Zoom

Packing an 83x optical zoom, the P900 has one of the most incredible zoom ranges ever seen in a Bridge camera before. But now Nikon have raised the bar even further with the P1000, which boasts an unbelievable 125x optical zoom. That's 24-3000mm, the largest ever seen. First things first, the release date in the UK and USA is 6th September 2018. There's no need to wait until then if you're eager to get your hands on one, as you can pre order the COOLPIX P1000 online now if you want be ahead the game and secure yours before they potentially sell out. Now for sale here . No doubt, with the release date being fairly near to Christmas, I'm sure there will be many people either hoping to find one in their Xmas stocking (It'll be one heavy stocking), or biting the bullet and finding an excuse to buy one for themselves. Whatever the route, everyone who can afford to wants to experience the sheer power of the P1000. So, other than the furthest zoom ever seen what else doe...

Canon PowerShot S2 IS Memory Card Error

The memory card error associated with the Canon PowerShot S2 IS is fairly widespread. I recently bought an S2 IS and had this problem myself. I have now fixed it, and I will tell you what I did in a moment. That's not to say what fixed it for me will work for everyone who experiences this memory card issue. However, it's certainly worth a try. First off, the Canon PowerShot S2 IS will only hold memory cards up to 2GB. That is the maximum size it can hold. So if you have inserted a 4GB SD card, your problem, or error message is due to the card being too big. If you have stayed within the size boundaries (2GB or less) and the camera is still displaying a card error, here is what fixed it for me. Take the SD card out and put it into another camera. For me the other camera was a Samsung WB500 [ Read about it here ]. Format the card when its inside the other camera. Now place it back in the S2 IS and it should now work fine. That worked for me. Another option if you have a d...
