Nikon Coolpix P950 - EN-EL20 + Charger - Third party battery

BM Premium Pack of 2 ENEL20, EN-EL20a Batteries and USB Dual Battery Charger for Nikon Coolpix P950, P1000, DL24-500, Coolpix A, 1 AW1, 1 J1, 1 J2, 1 J3, 1 S1, 1 V3 Digital Camera

Hey guys,

Check it out!

Finally, got the spare batteries that I ordered. Although, I actually ordered the 7.2V version they send me the 7.4V instead. I've read somewhere that some have been using the version for years and had no problem with their camera.

I did test the third-party batteries on my Nikon Coolpix p950 and everything seems to be ok. The specs really vary from the original but the size is the same. Anyway, the seller stated that it's supposedly compatible with my P950.

I've tried charging the original Nikon P950 camera with the charger and it actually works too. The size is obviously the same as the third-party battery so it fits nicely to the charger. But, I'm not recommending you to use it to charge. As I don't know if it's a good idea to do that.

Anyway, I've thought about it and I'll rather charge the original battery while the camera is connected to my computer when transferring pics and videos. I'm still new to the camera and I don't want to fck it up yet. The good thing is that now I have a total of 4 batteries.

The first time, I used my Nikon P950, I thought one battery would be enough as I thought, I won't be taking too many photos and videos. I forget that if you use your camera zooming capability the mechanical will use up your battery too.

I was practically going crazy with the 83x zoom. And, the power bank that I was using doesn't have fast charging. It takes too long to recharge. Thank goodness, I managed to get some good pictures and videos while only using one battery. Lol.



Wasabi Power Battery (2-Pack) and Dual Charger for Nikon EN-EL20, EN-EL20a

Now, with 4 batteries, I can go crazy taking photos and videos without thinking about battery managing. But, I still have to think about my SD Card. I think that'll be my next target purchase. To buy more SD cards. I'll be taking loads of pics and videos far into the future.

I've also bought some new filters to be used with my camera. I'm slowly moving to the technical part of using the camera. The manual settings have many choices, and I'm beginning to see the full potential of the camera. Like, choosing a different main color for the pictures. Interesting!



Nikon EN-EL20a Rechargeable Li-ion Battery

I'm not really sure of third-party products. Sometimes, they're pretty good and much cheaper. Of course, if you want to be safe, it's better to get the original from the main manufacture of the products itself. For third-party, you'll want to check out the review first before getting them.

I'm glad, by the time I got the Nikon Coolpix P950, there's already the P900 and the P1000. Even the P950 has already been out for almost 2 years? So, there's a lot of info out there you can read up on. The P950 is basically the little brother of the P1000.

The battery EN-EL20/20a for the P1000 is also the same as the P950. Some say, whatever you can use on the P1000 the new P950 can also be used. So like I say, there's no shortage of products already available on the market for the P950. I've learned batteries are basically the lifeline of my camera.

I'll be posting about my purchase of filters for my Nikon Coolpix P950 maybe next week. Check it out!

home BBQ electric grill lunch! #Shorts

Electric BBQ Grill Techwood 15-Serving Indoor/Outdoor Electric Grill for Indoor & Outdoor Use, Double Layer Design, Portable Removable Stand Grill, 1600W (Countertop BBQ Grill)

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I've talked about BBQ electric grill with multipurpose steamboat before. You can read it up here. I love eating hot soup noodles with grilled meat or vegetables. It's also kinda fun. You chit-chat or watch movies while waiting for the meat to be cooked.

Yesterday, I went for my Covid-19, 2nd dose jab. The center is near my sis house and I've already asked my nephew to prep something to eat like he did the first time. We had fishball soup, meats, veggies, and noodles that day. It was pretty fun, although it was only me and him.



Electric BBQ Grill Techwood 15-Serving Indoor/Outdoor Electric Grill for Indoor & Outdoor Use, Double Layer Design, Portable Removable Stand Grill, 1600W (Countertop BBQ Grill)

My nephew had other ideas though, this time around. He wanted to just eat grilled meats and hot spicy Korean noodles in a cup. I didn't really want to eat spicy food after my vaccine jab but he told me, he won't put too much of the spicy stuff.

Nowadays, I can't eat even a little spicy food or I'll have diarrhea. Guess, at my age, my stomach isn't that good anymore. Lucky for me, I didn't have a stomach problem until about 6 in the evening. I drank a thai cold milk drink and I think it triggered the stomach ache.



Food Party 2 in 1 Electric Smokeless Grill and Hot Pot

Personally, I like 2 in 1 BBQ electric grill with a hot pot. My nephew's version only allows you to cook one type at a time. Yes, it also comes with a hot pot but you'll have to change it every time you want to cook the grill or the hot soup. Kinda, a hassle.

I guess you can just pour everything inside the hot pot to cook the noodles and the veggies. Once, it's cooked, you can then change to grilling the meats or whatever. The soup will probably stay hot for quite a while. If not, you'll have to change over again.



2000W Electric Grill Indoor, 2 in 1 Hot Pot with Grill for Indoor And Ourdoor Korean BBQ Smokeless Grill With Shabu, 110V Shabu Hot Pot Made Of Medical Stone Non-Stick Pan For 2-12 People

If you want to buy a BBQ electric grill, it pretty much depends on how many people are in your family. If it's just the two of you, just get a small cheaper version. If you have a big family or host parties often, you might want to get the big one.

Like I said, it can be fun to eat hot grilled meats or hot pot soup with your family and friends. You can bond together while enjoying hot meals together. You can even watch movies and enjoy a nice hot lunch or dinner with your loved ones. 



Topwit Electric Grill with Hot Pot, 2 in 1 Indoor Non-Stick Electric Hot Pot and Griddle for Korean BBQ, Steaks, Shabu Shabu and Noodles, Independent Dual Temperature Control, Fast Heating, Green

The cool thing is that you can eat it hot from the grills or hot pot. Most also come with a non-stick plate and are easy to wash after you're done. You can choose any design and to your budget pricing. It's also electric so, no need to buy charcoal or gas.

It's also very portable. If you're a student, it'll be great to eat with other students' friends or just be alone. Pretty nifty, clean, and safe. All you need is to bring along your food and find a Power supply point nearby. You and your fellow students can even opt to buy different types of food to share.

For now, since I'm already fully vaccinated. Be a while, before I visit my sis again. But, my nephew sometimes sleeps over at my place. We can always have fun eating bbq grills and hot pots together some other time. My birthday is coming soon too in August. Another chance to eat together!

Nikon Coolpix P950 - I Bought More Lens Filters

67mm Multi-Coated 3 Piece Filter Kit (UV-CPL-FLD) for Nikon Coolpix P900, P950 Digital Camera

Hey guys,

Check it out!

The first filter that I bought for my Nikon Coolpix P950 is the UV filter by K&F. It was supposed to protect my lens and makes my picture a little brighter. Actually, I don't really see how it makes my pictures and video better. It doesn't help that the weather was a little dull this month.

I saw some other filters too, and I finally decided to buy a few different types of filters. As I've said, I want to make my pictures and videos better, so if these filters will make it looks better, I'm all for it. I'm also curious to try them out with my P950.



67mm Multi-Coated 3 Piece Filter Kit (UV-CPL-FLD) for Nikon Coolpix P900, P950 Digital Camera

When I read the descriptions for some of the filters, I found out that I actually need to do some speed shutter adjustments and other several settings. Now, things are getting more technical. I will have to refer to their recommendation back once in a while.

I actually can't wait to try them out. My birthday is coming up soon and the country is actually celebrating independence on the same day. Yes, I was born the same day as my country's independence day. So, I get to see lots of lightings and banners set up everywhere.



K&F Concept 67mm ND Fader Variable Neutral Density Adjustable ND Filter ND2 to ND400 for Canon 7D 700D 600D 70D 60D 650D 550D for Nikon D7100 D80 D90 D7000 D5200 D3200 D5100 D3200 D5300 DSLR Cameras + Lens Cleaning Cloth

One of the filters I bought is the adjustable ND Filter ND2 to ND400. I think it's cool you can easily adjust the filter. Now that I think of it, I might have to take out my lens hood so that I can easily interchange them. Kinda a hassle. Guess, I have to get used to it.

Like I've said before in past posts. I'm so used to using my phone camera to take pictures. Now, I have to learn more technical and manual stuff to get the pictures and videos I want. I'm not complaining though. I've been wanting to own a camera for so long. At my age now, it's becoming a fun hobby.



67mm Star Filter 4 Pieces Starburst Lens Filter(4 Points,6 Points,8 Points,12 Points) with Centre Pinch Lens Cap for Canon Nikon Sony Olympus Pentax and Other DSLR Cameras + 4 Slot Filter Pouch

Another set of lens star filters that I got is the starburst 4, 6, and 8 points. I want to try it on the celebrating lightings set up near my apartment block. Would be cool to see the star effects. I had a hard time choosing either the 4, 6, or 8. But then, I saw a bundle for three and got them instead. 

Now, I can test all of them and see which fits the picture. I was thinking, maybe some pics will have too many star effects. Since I have all three of them, I can quickly switch and choose either or all of them to share. Different people might have different opinions on the star effects.



Camera Mini Vlog Tripod - ULANZI Select MT-17 Phone Small Handheld Grip Tripod Desktop Tabletop Tripod Stand Portable Lightweight Ball Head Handle for iPhone Sony ZV1 Webcam Projector

One of the videos I took with my P950 was me walking between two wall slopes. You can watch my full video here. I only notice my wobbling after I download the video up to my youtube channel. That makes me think of getting a mini tripod stick.

Instead of me holding the camera on the right, holding the stick in the middle will eliminate my wobbling. I can of course, also use it as a selfie stick or vlog. Although, I'm not into Vlogging. I also opted to get one with remote control.

I've been thinking too of getting a remote for my camera. Glad I hold off, cause now I can use the mini tripod and remote together. I actually didn't know they sell it as a bundle. Come to think of it, selfie sticks do come with a remote. But, I've tried connecting to my camera and it doesn't work.

Well, I'm still waiting for them to arrive. So come back often to my blog for the latest updates!

Fingertip Oximeter - Noninvasive Oxygen Saturation Monitoring Device SpO2

Wellue Fingertip Pulse Oximeter 60F, Blood Oxygen Saturation Monitor with Alarm, Batteries, Carry Bag & Lanyard for Wellness Use

Hey guys,

Check it out!

Well, after almost 2 years, the Covid-19 pandemic is still not over yet. At the moment, there are even new variants of the virus. The problem is not enough people in the world are vaccinated yet. People talk about their own country but if not enough people of the world are vaccinated, we're all still in deep shit.

It also doesn't help that some don't believe in vaccination. Coming up with stupid and weird conspiracy theories. The virus is basically the same as any kind of virus that attacks us, humans, in the past. We managed to fight it and get vaccinated. That's how the world solves and gets to move on after that.



Wellue Fingertip Pulse Oximeter 60F, Blood Oxygen Saturation Monitor with Alarm, Batteries, Carry Bag & Lanyard for Wellness Use

I've actually got my first jab last month. I'll be getting my 2nd jab next Wednesday. I can't wait to get my 2nd dose. In my local area, we're about to open up but then there's news of idiots having a good time in KTV and also another cluster at the fish supply center. 

That's why EVERYONE needs to do their part to help stop this virus. You don't need a jackass to fck it all up when we're so closed to opening up again. Personally, I don't really care if we open up. I don't go out much and only when I have to.



iHealth Air Wireless Fingertip Pulse Oximeter with Plethysmograph and Perfusion Index on the App, Measures Blood Oxygen Saturation, Perfusion Index, Pulse Rate

I just got this fingertip oximeter the other day and I find it pretty useful. I also downloaded a third-party oximeter app on google store that you can connect via Bluetooth. I'm not an expert in this product or any kind of health matter. Like everyone else, I did my own reading. You can read up on pulse oximeter here on Wikipedia.

"A pulse oximeter is a medical device that indirectly monitors the oxygen saturation of a patient's blood (as opposed to measuring oxygen saturation directly through a blood sample) and changes in blood volume in the skin, producing a photoplethysmogram that may be further processed into other measurements." - Wikipedia source 



EMAY Sleep Oxygen Monitor with App for iPhone & Android | Track Overnight & Continuous Blood Oxygen Saturation Level & Heart Rate with Professional Report | Memory Stores Data Up to 40 Hours

"For patients with COVID-19, pulse oximetry helps with early detection of silent hypoxia, in which the patients still look and feel comfortable, but their SpO2 is perilously low. This happens to patients either in the hospital or at home. Low SpO2 may indicate severe COVID-19-related pneumonia, requiring a ventilator." - source Wikipedia

If you read the above part of the article on pulse-oximeter, it is pretty useful to check up on your own health during this pandemic. What catches my eye is that the person doesn't know he is in danger and still looks and feels comfortable. 



iChoice Relaxation Coach Smart Pulse Oximeter – Portable Bluetooth Sensor for Meditation & Relaxation - Easily Monitor Stress, Heart Rate, and SPO2 (Oxygen Saturation) Trends

I don't really care to check up on my health. Physically, I have bunion toe, broken nose, half-deaf on my left ear, left knee joint pain, and slip disc back pain. But, once I try it and see at least, I'm kinda healthy, it actually boosts my self-confidence. 

Several years ago, I had a blood pressure check-up once and the nurse told me I'm borderline. She didn't tell me the numbers though. My blood pressure has gone down since. The fingertip oximeter can also tell your blood pressure and mine I think is 90+. Well below 120.

The fingertip oximeter says that there's no irregularity in my health result. Pretty reassuring. Ok, it might not be 100% accurate but it doesn't give you any alarming info. Especially, low SpO2, low oxygen saturation. So far, I'm doing pretty well in this pandemic, thank you!

beautiful evening sky view from my window - samsung note 10+ camera

Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G Factory Unlocked Android Cell Phone 128GB US Version Mobile Gaming Smartphone Long-Lasting Battery, Mystic Bronze

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I was so captivated by the beauty of the evening sky that I decided to take a video of it on my Samsung Note 10+. I check out the pro settings and I'm like whoa! You can do so many things to make your pictures, the way you want them to be seen.

In the end, I didn't change anything and just took the video as it is. Later on, I put the filter on when uploading to youtube. It makes the blue sky looks much darker but kinda fake. Maybe, I should have just left it be.



Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G Factory Unlocked Android Cell Phone 128GB US Version Mobile Gaming Smartphone Long-Lasting Battery, Mystic Bronze

I've been using my Apple iPhone, iPad, and Samsung phone to take many pictures and videos for years. I even use it for my youtube channel. I've actually blogged about it before. The mobile phone camera has improved so much that you can take videos, edit and upload them right from your phone.

Several decades ago, you can't do all that. You need a good camera and a computer. My first few videos on my youtube channel were taken using my webcam. I'll then edit them or just upload as it is. My favorite software was Microsoft free Movie Maker. In fact, I'm still using it today!



DEPSTECH 4K Webcam, 2021 Autofocus Webcam with Microphone 8MP HD Web Camera with Sony Sensor, Privacy Cover and Tripod, Plug and Play USB Computer Streaming Webcam for Laptop PC/Video Call/Skype/Zoom

In the old days though, I don't have a high-end pc. I was still using old Pentium and probably 2 or 4Gb of rams. Can't remember exactly. The moviemaker will hang or crash. Sometimes, it won't even load. You can imagine how constantly frustrated I was trying to finish my video.

The worst part is when you have done your editing and you're about to save when suddenly your computer freeze. The only thing you can do is press ctrl+alt+delete or switch off and on the computer. And you wonder why pc users have anger management issues. Lol!



Samsung Electronics Samsung Galaxy S21 5G | Factory Unlocked Android Cell Phone | US Version 5G Smartphone | Pro-Grade Camera, 8K Video, 64MP High Res | 128GB, Phantom Gray (SM-G991UZAAXAA)

I can't remember which versions of the iPhone that I started using for my channel. Maybe, it's the iPhone 6, 7, or 8. I didn't like the iPhone X with the notch, so I decided to switch back to Samsung phones. My current phone is the Samsung Note 10+.

Yesterday, I was teaching a lady friend how she can make videos and upload them to her youtube channel. She thought that she'll need a laptop. I told her, nowadays, she can do everything right on her phone. I'm not sure what kind of phone she's using though.



Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 5G | Factory Unlocked Android Cell Phone | 256GB Storage | US Version Smartphone Tablet | 2-in-1 Refined Design, Flex Mode | Mystic Bronze

I'm hoping to get the latest Samsung Z Fold 2 or 3 coming up soon? I like the 2 in 1 form factor. You can use it as a mobile phone and open it up to use as a tablet. If you're a Youtuber or blogger like me that will be pretty useful.

It'll be much easier to edit your videos or even post a blog with a bigger screen. Open it up, connect to your Bluetooth mouse and keyboard and you have a mini android computer setup. The best thing is that you can do it anytime and anywhere. Fewer items to bring along too!

For travel vloggers, would be lighter loads for them. If Samsung can improve on the camera and user interface (UI), the phone will be pretty popular amongst influencers. I've been hearing about Samsung's new Exynos 2200. That can be used on laptops and mobile phones. Imagine that on the latest Z Fold 3?

Valve announces Steam Deck - I'm sticking with my Switch lite

Nintendo Switch Lite - Blue

Hey guys,

Check it out!

My nephew suddenly msg me the other day and asked me if I have seen Steam Deck. I didn't know what it was and said I'm too busy to care. I decided to check what it's all about after I'm done with my work. Oh, it's a steam version of Nintendo Switch. I'm already seeing a youtube video headline for the death of the Nintendo Switch. lol :p

I think it's only available at the end of the year if I can remember correctly. Meanwhile, the new Nintendo Switch Oled will arrive in October. You can check it out on the Amazon link here. One thing for sure, it's much cheaper than a Steam Deck.



Nintendo Switch Lite - Blue

Looking at the Steam Deck design, the first thing you see is the weird placement of the control buttons and two pads located on both sides of the 7 inch LCD screen. There's nothing special about the trigger buttons. Looks the same as a Switch.

I wish they had proper triggers like an Xbox controller. Oh yeah, there are 4 special paddles behind the deck just like the elite Xbox controller. I'm assuming you can set it up to your own preferences. Other than that, physically it looks like and probably weighs the same as a Nintendo Switch.



Nintendo Switch (OLED model) w/ White Joy-Con

"We partnered with AMD to create Steam Deck's custom APU, optimized for handheld gaming. It is a Zen 2 + RDNA 2 powerhouse, delivering more than enough performance to run the latest AAA games in a very efficient power envelope." - Taken from Steam Deck official page.

Personally, I'm not surprised they're using AMD products. There's actually already something similar created by a Chinese company a couple of months back. AMD is probably going to win this portable gaming computer. I'm not totally sure how good Intel mobile graphics are.



Retear Game Elite Traveling Backpack for Nintendo Switch, Carrying Storage Bag for PS4 Slim and Xbox ONE

How good will it play and for how long? I'm guessing maybe 2-3 hours of hardcore gaming. It's basically just like a gaming laptop. You can even use it as a laptop. Plugin your gaming keyboard and mouse, voila! You can also dock it to a big screen TV with your own compatible cables.

My Switch lite can't do that. What I worry about for the Steam Deck is when you start installing all the craps we always do on a laptop or PC and it will start to bog your system. If you like to tinker, it will be more than just a portable gaming console.



Nintendo Switch with Gray Joy‑Con - HAC-001(-01)

The Steam Deck is admittedly very interesting. As I've owned both the Nintendo Switch and Switch lite, I'm a little bias towards my current Switch lite. It's great for gaming, watching videos, and listening to music on youtube. That's basically what I do with it, every day.

If ever I'm getting the Steam Deck, I will probably tinker the heck out of it. Remember, it's basically a portable gaming pc. I can even use the integrated controller to control my raspberry pi car robot. I actually tried that before with my Powkiddy X18. Watch the video here.



Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit -Luigi Set - Nintendo Switch Luigi Set Edition

Now, you can also control a car with the Nintendo Switch. The Mario Kart Live. I wonder if Nintendo had read my blog post about it. I've been wanting to use my Switch to be able to control my Raspberry pi. Months later, they come up with Mario Kart. Coincidence?

The Steam Deck is very much different than the Nintendo Switch and it caters to different types of gamers. If you're a PC/Steam gamer, you'll probably get it. If you're into Nintendo products or consoles, you'll probably stick with the Switch. 

Right now, I'm sticking with my favorite portable gaming console, the Switch lite. I've already loads of games in it. I don't really need to buy another portable gaming console. Yes, I've many Steam games too, that's why I'm not counting out getting it, maybe in the near future.

Nikon Coolpix P950 - Big Badass Black Godzilla!

Nikon COOLPIX P950 Digital Camera w/NIKKOR 83x Optical Zoom Lens, 64GB Transcend SD Memory Card, Tripod, Bag, Lens Blower/Cleaner, and More

Hey guys,

Check it out!

As promised, here's the video clip of the beautiful big badass black lizard that caught my eyes just as I was walking briskly, passing by it. I'm in a botanic garden, so it's probably already used to be surrounded by humans. The way it chills as I took a video of it.

I was the only one taking videos of the lizard. Precisely, why I like going around taking pictures and videos during normal working days. If it were the weekends, the place would have been full of noisy weekenders. It'll be worse if there were pesky kids.



Nikon COOLPIX P950 Digital Camera w/NIKKOR 83x Optical Zoom Lens, 64GB Transcend SD Memory Card, Tripod, Bag, Lens Blower/Cleaner, and More

The botanic gardens I went to were relatively quiet and it was in mid-afternoon. But, the sky was still grey and moody. I managed to take loads of pictures and a little more after re-charging my one camera battery for a while. 

I'm glad, I was able to re-charge my battery with my power bank or I wouldn't be able to record video of the lizard. Using a power bank to re-charge my Nikon Coolpix P950 is too slow. Nowadays, there's fast charging, but I'm not too sure how fast is fast.

I still haven't got myself extra camera batteries. I'll get it soon. Meanwhile, I'm just being mindful of using too much zooming and taking unnecessary photos. I actually don't like using the burst mode. Ok, maybe because I don't want to waste space and battery. Also, I'm not used to using it.

I'm still new to using a point-and-shoot camera like the P950. The only settings I've been using are the Scene, close-up and single shot. I switch between auto a lot. And, I always play with the light compensation. Especially, in the moody weather.



67mm Multi-Coated 3 Piece Filter Kit (UV-CPL-FLD) for Nikon CoolPix P900, P950 Digital Camera

Now, I'm thinking of getting new camera filter for different effects. I also need to learn to use the other types of settings available on my camera. Browsing through the P950 online manual makes me realized there's more to it then just using the scene and auto.

I might want to try out the P, S, A and M modes. I'm actually afraid to use them. I don't want to fck up my pictures and videos. But, now since, I've already taken loads of pictures and videos for my youtube channel. I'm ready to try them out next time. 



Photographer's Guide to the Nikon Coolpix P950: Getting the Most from Nikon's Superzoom Digital Camera

I really need to get out more and test the camera further. I'm a lazy homeboy but having this camera makes me want to go out and play with it. This is basically my new hobby or interest. I'm actually thinking of maybe setting up a new channel just for photo and video-graphy.

I love sharing the pictures and videos I have taken with the camera. I'll learn more as time goes by and maybe you can even see the difference in image and video quality throughout the years. If you have visited and watch my youtube videos, say hi or give me tips if you want to.

I can't leave the comment open on my blog because there are too many spammers. You can drop me an email on my contact sections. I just remembered asking someone several decades ago sending her mountain pictures. I love mountains and natural landscapes. I might take them myself one day.

Nikon Coolpix P950 - Swimming Godzilla?

Nikon COOLPIX P950 Digital Camera w/NIKKOR 83x Optical Zoom Lens, 64GB Transcend SD Memory Card, Tripod, Bag, Lens Blower/Cleaner, and More

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I don't know why every local park I went to, I'm sure to find this big lizard walking around or just swimming around in the lake. I was resting at the park shelter when I saw something moving in the water. At first, I thought it was a snake or piece of wood. Turn out it's the lizard!

I was actually still re-charging the camera battery with my power bank. Luckily, the lizard still hanging around at the side of the lake. That's why I love the zooming capability of the Nikon Coolpix P950. I can discreetly zoom in to just its head popping out of the water.

It must have noticed me as it decided to swim to the other side. The way it swam reminds me of the movie, Godzilla. Also, it didn't go under the water. Makes me wonder if they actually do that in real life. Well, the movie always exaggerates to make it more interesting.

There was a couple of time when I make the mistake of moving too near the animals to take pictures or videos. When I can simply just use the camera to zoom. I guess that's why they say the Nikon P1000, P900 and P950 are best for wildlife.

In one of my pictures, I didn't realize there was a dragonfly on the branch far out in the water. I only notice it after uploading it on my video. Again, without the zooming capability of my camera, I wouldn't have seen it. 

That's one of the advantages of the Nikon Coolpix P950. In fact, I'm frequently using zoom to take pictures and videos. It actually came naturally to me. My nephew saw one guy with his camera and big lens. I told him, he's probably a pro.

Ok, maybe it's just his interest in camera and photography. But, the kind of lens he's carrying, that probably cost more than my camera. I wouldn't be able to afford it. I got my P950 at half the price because it's a demo version. And, it still looks brand new.

The P950 is a great starter camera for me. It's probably for you too if you've never owned a point-and-shoot camera. Especially with the 83x zoom. You can take videos in 4K and upload them in 1080P. The quality of the image would be better than being downgraded from 1080P.

Another great thing about the camera that I keep forgetting to talk about is how stable it is, even without a camera tripod. Ok, if you really want a more steady shot, then you'll need one. But, for moments where you don't want to lose a shot like me taking the video of the lizard swimming, it does help.

I don't have steady hands. And, it does shake a lot when you're at maximum zoom. I found that out when taking videos of boats and planes without a tripod. I also managed to save up the battery before I finished getting what I wanted.

Also, my 128GB SD card storage has finally dropped below the 100GB mark. I might have to get a new card soon. I'm planning to buy a new card every time it's full and keep all my pics and videos on it. I don't trust any backup HD drive as they have failed me time and again.

Don't forget to check out the swimming Godzilla video. I might talk about another shorter video of the black lizard which I took last week. So, keep coming back to my blog!

Nikon Coolpix P950 - Pictures & Videos of Lakeside Garden

Nikon COOLPIX P950 Digital Camera w/NIKKOR 83x Optical Zoom Lens, 64GB Transcend SD Memory Card, Tripod, Bag, Lens Blower/Cleaner, and More

Hey guys,

Check it out!

Yup! I'm really enjoying using my new Nikon Coolpix P950 camera. Really, starting to get a hang of it. I've been to several local areas and taking pictures and videos for my youtube channel. You can check out the latest video here. Don't forget to like, share & subscribe!

Of course, I'm having fun. But, at the same time, it's actually pretty tiring. The lakeside garden that I went to was pretty large and part of it is actually under renovation. It's slated to open again next year. They're probably taking advantage of the Covid-19 pandemic.

I might come back again to visit it. There's gonna be a new Chinese & Japanese garden there. It'll be great to take more pictures and video then. Since had my new camera, I've been looking for cool places to go and take pictures and videos.

You still can't travel out of the country but, I'm taking the time to improve my amateur photography and videography skills. There's always something interesting in your own local area. You just need to have a good eye and find a good place for your adventure.

A lot of people complain that the pictures taken with the P950 aren't good. Especially, in low light. Well, kinda true. But, you can always edit it later. You can save it in raw file format. But, I find myself just sticking to jpeg. And, I'm too lazy to edit the pictures.

Normally, I'll just upload everything to one video. Be it pictures or videos. In that way, people can see the pictures and videos as it is. So, they'll know the quality taken with the P950. You can even see some of the pictures are dark and some a little lighter.

The weather has been kinda grey and moody these past few weeks. That's probably why you don't see any nice blue sky in my pictures and videos. Anyway, when the weather is nice and sunny, I'll be able to take different types of images soon.

I'm still enjoying using the Nikon P950. I really like the zoom capability. I'm always constantly playing with the zoom. Unlike when using my Samsung phone, which obviously doesn't have as good zooming capability, I just take pictures as it is. Far or near.

I still haven't got myself extra batteries for the P950. I really should get it. One battery isn't enough, especially when you use zooming a lot. The power bank isn't fast enough for recharging the original battery inside. Unless I can find a PowerPoint.

I also find myself taking a lot of photos and videos. Sometimes, the same pictures over again but with different lighting, settings, and angle. Well, you do try to get the best the camera can produce. That's why I'm too lazy to edit. But, later on, I might edit one or two for social media.

I find myself re-using some of the photos for different purposes. The good thing is that it's all mine and I don't have to worry about the copyrights issue. But, I actually encounter one with my moon videos. Somebody or company claiming my videos as theirs. Maybe, it's a coincidence they look the same. 

What you guys think?

Nikon Coolpix P950 - Botanic gardens - Ever seen a Big Badass Black Lizard?

Nikon COOLPIX P950 83x Optical Zoom Digital Camera (USA 26532) with 16PC Accessory Bundle Package – Includes: SanDisk Extreme PRO 64GB SDXC Memory Card + 2X Extended Life Battery + 57” Tripod + More

Hey guys,

Check it out!

Yesterday, I went to my local botanic gardens and took some pictures and videos with my Nikon Coolpix P950. I dabble a lot with the setting, switching between Auto and Scene. Especially, for the close-up shot. Personally, I really like the pictures and videos that I took. Have a looksie here!

I'm still not sure what I'm doing. The LCD screen is not really helping as they don't really show the quality of the picture I've taken. Sometimes, I'll think the picture is a little washup but when I upload to my PC or laptop, they actually look great. I'm glad, I didn't delete a couple of those shots.

I'm learning though. I like playing with the ISO. It's easy to access and quickly adjust the lighting. I also keep forgetting that I'm already using the UV filter. So, the pictures are already affected by the filter. Which gives the pictures and video a little more color.

Take a look at the pictures and videos and tell me what you think here. I might also want to get the photographer's guidebook on using the Nikon Coolpix P950. Little tips might improve the quality of my pictures and videos in the future.

I really need to buy extra batteries for the camera. Halfway through taking pictures and the battery went dead. I didn't think I'll need an extra battery. As I was sure I won't be taking that many pictures and videos. I was planning to just stay at the botanic gardens for maybe 1 or 2 hrs.

I did bring along my power bank and managed to charge it to half full for around 30 mins. It's pretty slow to charge. I'm not sure if the latest power bank could charge a little faster. But, I took the time to relax, eat and drink some water.

I haven't done this much walking for a while. Not just because of the  Covid-19 pandemic. I'm kinda a homely person. I only go out of my house if I have to, like work. Other than that I just stayed home and do my own things. Maybe, because I'm getting older.

When you're young, you hang out with your schoolmates and go places. When you get older, most of your friends are married with children. When I had a girlfriend, they're actually the ones coercing me to go out with them. Now, I'm single again and going out because of my new camera. Lol.

I'm not complaining though. Like I've said, I've always been interested in owning a camera and taking great photos. In recent years, I've been using my Apple iPhone, iPad, and Samsung phone as the main camera to take pictures and videos. But, having a camera is very much a different kind of ball game.

Right now, I'm still learning how to use a point-and-shoot camera. It's becoming my new hobby. With social media, you can easily share all your works. And, of course, an added bonus for my blog and youtube channel. I also have to remember that sometimes not everyone likes my pictures and videos.

Check out these one original and two edited sample photos were taken from my P950 edited using FB editor (I don't have any photo & video editing software):

The original pic was taken from Nikon Coolpix P950. Admittedly, it's a little washup.

Edited with FB editor.

Edited with FB editor. More color.

My sis gave me a damning critic of my photo whereas my ex-colleagues at work praise how bright it is. In the end, I told her that everyone has their own opinion, and that doesn't mean I have to accept it. In any case, I'm still getting the hang of it and I'm already thinking of other types of cameras. 

You've got to start somewhere right? And, people usually edit their main pictures for imperfection. I don't know why my sis and one of my friends asked me to use a flash in broad daylight to take outdoor photos. Yes, I've seen pros working using lighting effects outdoor before. 

I'm not a pro photographer and I don't have money to buy expensive equipment. I'm not in the photography business. I work with what I have and if most people are okay with it, I'm happy. I'll learn and improve as I go along with this new hobby of mine. So, keep visiting my blog and channel!

By the way, check out the big badass black lizard at the near end of my video. At the moment, the Nikon Coolpix P950 is still the only camera I have, and loving it. Yes!
