You need to get one of the Nikon Coolpix cameras like I got last year. You'd have a blast with the zoom being so good. Here's a pic I snapped a few minutes ago of the moon ....

Well Thank you, perfect timing tonight!
That is awesome!! I probably should get one, but then I’d have to remember to have it with me and I always have the phone handy. LOL!
Things didn’t go smoothly at all, but I’m sure that tomorrow will go well.
PS...yikes! Those cameras aren’t cheap. LOL! I just checked them out on Amazon.
I could get a brand new phone for that. Or less. I guess it’s all about what ya need. :)
It’ll zoom in even closer but that was close enough to do the job.
I don’t cart it around with me when I’m out and about unless I’m going somewhere I know I’ll take pix. I got it because I wanted a good zoom for critter pix around the farm and being able to get such nice shots of the moon was a bonus. I didn’t expect it.
I’m bummed that no deer have been close to the house since I got the camera. Getting shots of does with their fawns was something I looked forward to. Maybe next year. I did get some cute shots of the mourning doves and their babies last summer.
It came in handy getting shots of the vehicles in the fields yesterday though. They were way off in the fields.
Sorry to hear things didn’t go smoothly. I hope tomorrow is much better!
Yes, those were excellent shots and I didn’t even realize they were taken with the zoom lens. I guess they’d have to have been or you’d still be suffering from the dust! LOL!
They come at various prices and if you keep your eye out for sales, you can get a good deal. I got mine at Electronics Express and paid less than $300 for it. It’s regular price was WELL over that.
It does everything I need and then some. :-)
Shoo, I’m suffering from the dust any way. LOL! It’s EVERYWHERE. My eyes are still watering from stepping out to take pix of the moon.
I hate it for the farmers here but I’m looking forward to rain this weekend. We need a break from the dusty air.
That’s an awesome price! What model is yours?
The one I bought is a B500. They have some that cost a little less and others that cost a LOT more. And of course the sales guy tried to steer me to one of those. LOL! But I already knew what I wanted when I walked in the door after checking them out online the night before. :-)
Good for you, sticking to your guns! You got an excellent camera there!
I’m lookin’ forward to pictures of all the WWII equipment! :)
One of my faves! Thanks, LV!
Gorgeous, LUV!
Howdy there, Liberty!
How are you doing this fine evening?
Thank you, Megs!
I always stick to my guns when shopping. And I never take Hubby with me. He has a big “S” for sucker on his forehead that only salesmen can see and they can sway him too easily. LOL!
I’m getting antsy to go to MS to snap pix of those awesome military items! They aren’t just WWII. He has stuff from the Civil War on up to around 10 years ago.
Good evening, radu...it says 40% all night, then waiting til Sunday.
The high is 50 for at least the next week. Nights are still above freezing, but we’ve had a couple mornings with frost on the windshields and lawns.
Is Nate going to bring you some rain?
