Ode to the FujiFilm xx..

Hey Surfers,

I think that summer is finally here! though with summer has come mosquitoes and other horrendous mini beasts...I'm covered in bites... ¬_¬

I feel that in my last post I was a little unfair to my old Fujifilm Bridge. My Nikon is undeniably better and the compact is much easier to use but, in the two years of using the bridge I did get some pretty nice shots. I've picked some of the ones that I like the most to share with you all. Enjoy.

This was one of the first pictures that I shot with this camera. I took some of my mother's fake flowers into the garden and snapped a few pictures to test  it out.

Testing the super macro function

 The detail on the fly in this image really surprised me; I was thoroughly impressed.

 Another shot using the super macro function. Even though this camera isn't a fully functioning DSLR it has only the daisy in focus; the blur coupled with the bright sunlight make for a very pretty picture.

Got this shot from the car on the way home from my graduation dinner. It was getting late but despite the low light the image is quite clear, bar the woman in the centre; her being out of focus makes the shot in my opinion :)

 Another shot from graduation day, though this time I was able to leave the car and balance my camera on a wall so it would be a crisper image. The bridge does perform well in low light, you just need to have a steady hand and a little patience.

I love taking pictures of animals! This was taken last year at Bristol Zoo, I was very proud of this image though the poor lion does look a bit forlorn...

Yet another shot from London, this time I was in Hampstead Heath. The sun was still quite high in the sky despite it being late afternoon by this point and I took this picture whilst lounging around in the long grass.

Finally, a bit of fun with sparklers and a long exposure time. Nothing spectacular but should you wish to do some light painting the option is definitely there with this camera.

I hope this has shown the Fujifilm bridge in a better light. It's a camera which can be worthwhile purchase if you're on a budget but want to take the step up from a compact. I hope to use it to take many more pictures during its life time :)

Thanks for reading Surfers! I'll be back next week with a bit more of a life post ;)

Enjoy your week.

Love E
