Tom Barry Posted August 18, 2014 Share #1  Posted August 18, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) That's not a misprint. I took this with the Lumix FZ1000 at ISO 400 using the Intelligent Zoom feature, which enables you to extend maximum zoom from 400 to 1124mm. Extension depends on reducing JPEGs from the native 20.1MP to 10MP, with minimal effect on image quality. You can go farther than that, if you further reduce resolution, but I doubt I'll do that. I like what I'm getting. This image was minimally processed in Photoshop Elements 11:   Welcome, dear visitor!

Bill W Posted August 18, 2014 Share #6 Â Posted August 18, 2014 Excellent. At that zoom you must have had a steady tripod or something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Barry Posted August 18, 2014 Author Share #7 Â Posted August 18, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) Excellent. At that zoom you must have had a steady tripod or something. Â Thanks for the nice comment. No tripod. I sat in a chair, rested my left elbow on the arm and relied on the 5-axis image stabilization to further steady the camera. This even works with my Canon 40D plus 200mm f2.8L + EF 2X teleconverter (640mm effective) with no image stabilization available. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iduna Posted August 23, 2014 Share #11 Â Posted August 23, 2014 Tom, Â this is a surprising and delightful shot with just the right timing. Your information about the camera + processing is the proof that pictures are being made by a photographer who knows to handle his tool whatever camera it is.Fine work.
