Merritt Island Florida

Hi everyone. I'm here in Fl for a few months til the big trip to the Phils.

There are moments that it seems like a terrible place to live then 10 minutes later the best.

I'm attempting to get a good photo or series of photos of an aligator without getting arrested or injured.

It's not as easy as I once thought.

Just make sure it's not that dude who dresses like an alligator to study them.

Great pics!

The gators might not but I've been dived on by some rather big birds less than happy with having their picture taken.

Some just fly away casually.

It's the people that see me stalking the birds that are funny.

I'm not here to hurt the birds just take some photos.

This new camera is a Kodak with a 12X zoom lens.

Digital Photography Review

Mr Toad:

The image stabilization that you suggested is the latest in cool gadgetry is truly useful with this camera. That feature alone makes using the zoom lens at max possible.

The prices are coming down as well.

I think it generally means that you have a high level of control over the camera like you would on a SLR, and that it has a very good lens like a SLR. But it's not a detachable lens with a flip up mirror like a SLR. It also looks a bit like a SLR. Actually, I'm not sure digital SLRs have a flip up mirror.
