Canon SX50 HS: Sample Shots - Part 2

The more I'm using the Canon SX50 HS, the more I'm loving it. And this is despite the few limitations that I had shared in my previous post. The filters are amazing to use. I loved the SuperVivid filter but have to mention that it doesn't render the true colors sometimes. It does make the photo more vibrant and one of those professional looking ones. The image stabilization is superb and can be seen in the Full Moon below which was shot hand-held. Do let me know your views!!

Full Moon Shot Using Canon SX50 HS - Hand Held

Dragonfly

The dargonfly also known as damselfly was very close to our window on a television cable. Wonder if it was trying to repair something on it :-D. It stayed still and unmoved even while I took the camera very close to take some shots. A tiny little bug but has such an amazing shape that it looks almost like an airplane :-)

All this time, Sheru, our cat, was out there sitting near the window and trying to grab my attention. Well couldn't help and had to take a few captures of Sheru also. You've met Sheru before. Check this post.

And even after all the noise made by Sheru and all the pictures clicked by me, the dragonfly still remained unmoved. You can also see the video of the dragonfly that I had shot after clicking the above photos. Well Pixellicious Photos, now also has a YouTube Channel here.

The Cat Portrait

This guy looks cute? At least the way he's looking at the camera does make him look cute. A few days back I had posted the picture of Sheru. The cat in the picture above is Baalu, Sheru's son. While Sheru is a big show-off in front of people, Baalu is very shy or may be scared of humans. About 2 years back Baalu got badly injured in a fight with the biggest villain of his life. A gray colored cat who shows up at least once a day to fight with our cats. Baalu's injury was very bad and we had to take him to a Vet. The injections that he used to get from the Vet seem to have developed a fear in him. Something that always keeps him distant from us.

The only thing that makes him come to us is food. Sheru and Baalu both really love the chicken & fish nuggets. While Sheru would stay calm even when hungry, Baalu really gets on our nerves every morning with constant meowing. He can go on and on and on until he gets his food. The above photo was shot with the camera placed on our window. I used the timer on our Canon A710 IS Digital camera to ensure there is no blurriness. Also See - Camera Critters!

Meet Sheru

You may have seen Sheru, our cute little pet here in one of my older posts. He's there in the last pic on that link, trying to roar like a lion. I was out there in our terrace, trying to do some bird photography, capturing a tinly little green bird. It was tough luck as the bird was moving too quick across the branches, the day was gloomy with dark clouds making the lights very low. Also, it may be that our cats were out there enjoying there time on the trees, that the birds chose not to become their meal :-|

Later at the gate of our house, I saw the Bulbul, perhaps the same one which I had shot earlier in my post Spiked Hair Cut. It has a nest in the veranda of one of the nearby houses. Even this bird seemed to be in a hurry and I could capture a slightly blurred photograph. Sharing the same here with you :-) They say, it does take a lot of patience, a good camera and a great telephoto lens to capture the birds beautifully!!
