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.

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!
