Nikon Coolpix P950 - 83x Zoom Beautiful Moon Shot!

Nikon COOLPIX P950 Compact Digital Camera with 83x Optical Zoom Super Telephoto Lens Bundle Including Triple Battery + Deco Gear Backpack Bag Case + Filter Kit + Photo Video Software and Accessories

Hey guys,

Check it out!

Finally! Got my very own close-up pictures and videos of the freaking moon. I've been wanting to use my new Coolpix Nikon P950 to do that for a while. But, the moon been hiding from me. In fact, it was pretty cloudy at first but it finally shows in full view.

I think I mush it up a little bit though. I had used the moon scene but turn to manual focus. Couldn't fine-tune to be sharper. Having bad eyesight doesn't help. I couldn't really see in the small LCD screen. But, in the end, when I turn to auto-focus, it got better.

I'm still dabbling around with the settings. That's why there's the red or is it orange effect. No matter, as I'm more excited about being able to an 83x zoom close-up of the moon. Wow! it's really incredible. If NASA or any country had built a base there, I'm pretty sure, you can even see it.

Like everyone else, I'm curious about the moon. Yes, I'm also interested to know if there's actually a secret base or even aliens. Okay, you never know. With the capability of this camera, it'll be cool to be able to zoom in on weird things in the sky. Too bad, the P950 doesn't have night vision.

Yesterday, was my first time taking pictures and videos of the moon. I think I can do much better next time. A tripod is really important. There's a certain part of the video which was kind of shaky, as I move it to center the moon. Also, I'll just use the auto-focus and stop dabbling mid-video taking.

I guess that's part of the learning process to use the camera. I'm going out tomorrow with my family to the beach. Of course, I'm going to bring my camera and take some pictures and videos with it. Would be fun and also help me dabble and learn with the camera Scene settings.

I bought myself a 67mm UV filter for my camera. I'm interested to see if it'll improve the quality of the picture. I'll be just using the normal and jpeg setting. I'm kinda lazy to do any touch-up with the pictures I took. Maybe, I'll try out raw later on.

For the moment, I'm just interested in using the camera for taking pictures and videos. I'm already interested in looking and learning about other cameras. I saw the Nikon promo for the Nikon Z 6II FX-Format Mirrorless Camera on their main (Amazon) store. If only I have the money. Lol.

I'm intrigued to know how good it is for low-light settings. It'll be great for a night out shooting funs. It'll be worth the money if you're a professional photographer. Taking photos and videos of movie star night events or whatever. Definitely, not for us mere mortals.

I know they're expensive but, didn't really look at the price till I got the P950. I actually got my camera for half the normal price as it's a demo unit. The good news is, it looks as though it's new and never been open or used. I'm not even sure what they did with the demo unit as I got it online.

There are many pretty cheap cameras available. If you just want to take great fun or holiday photos. Before this, I just used my phone camera which is already pretty good. You can quickly edit it right on the phone and upload it online to youtube or others photo websites.

But, then again, you can't 83X zoom to the moon like the Nikon Coolpix P950!

Nikon Coolpix P950 - UV Filter - Is that a dragonfly?

Hey guys,

Check it out!

Well, my K&F Concept UV filter and tempered glass LCD screen protector finally arrived. The 67mm filter fit nicely to my Nikon Coolpix P950 and so did my screen protector. I wasn't sure how to install the screen protector at first, and I think I made the mistake of peeling the adhesive too.

Lucky for me, there are two of them and only after doing a search on Google, I realized the type that I bought. Silly me. I thought I had to peel off everything. I might buy another set later on, but for now, as long as it's doing the job of protecting my LCD screen.

I remembered decades ago I saw a guy with a cracked LCD screen. I don't think he put any screen protector. I asked him, why didn't he send it for repair. He just smiles and gave me some random answer. That's why I freaking worry about the screen.

I wonder if there's any screen protector for the lens? Lol. Well, maybe if it comes with filters too. Okay, I'm a newbie. I might ask stupid questions sometime. But, I'm really enjoying it. I'm not sure how good the filter is as I didn't take any pictures before putting it on the UV filter.

Nevertheless, I took some pictures and videos of the evening sky outside my apartment and I think it kinda looks good. I also tried out several settings, changing from auto to manual focus. Using the dial and the menu settings. The more I dabble with the camera, the more I learn how to use it.

You can check out the video here. The coolest part is when I thought I saw a bird flying near the top of the tree branch but it turns out to be a dragonfly. I was pretty excited as now, I get a chance to test the 83x zoom capability of the camera.

I had to play around with the manual and auto-focus as sometimes, it seems it won't focus during the auto. It was also kinda dark with the evening sky as the backdrop. But, it actually looks kinda beautiful with the dragonfly sitting on top of the tree branch.

I can imagine people using the dragonfly picture and putting some wise words. Like, I've said before, I can't draw but making art from photography is something I'm interested in. I just remembered that because I took the video in 4K, snipping pictures from the video won't degrade the picture quality.

The picture below is a snip from my youtube video. It was saved to 1080P from the original 4K video. So, the picture quality might not be that accurate. I didn't do any edit after I transfer from my camera to my laptop. The transfer took a couple of minutes.

I'm not sure if it's my laptop or my eyesight is going bad. It's hard to really see the quality of the pictures and videos I took. I prefer not to edit them. I'll end up messing around, testing the Nikon editing software, and wasting time. Lol.

I didn't save the pictures and videos in raw format. I just set it to normal jpeg. Unless I know I'm going to mess around with the pictures later. The thing is, I want it to look just the way they are. With all the imperfections. But, I definitely want it to be sharp and beautiful.

Also, normally, I'll frame the pictures a certain way to get what I wanted. I want my pictures as they are seen through my eyes. I'm still not sure about the zooming though. I'm wondering why I can't focus either during manual or auto. That's why I'm still dabbling around with the settings.

I still have a long way to learn but I'm in no hurry. This is like a new hobby for me. I've always wanted a camera of my own and this modern Nikon Coolpix P950 is so perfect for me. I might move on to other cameras once I gained enough knowledge and experience.
