THURSDAY’S SPECIAL: ZOOM IN, ZOOM OUT
From Paula:
Here’s another Thursday’s Special photo challenge for you. This time the theme is “zoom in, zoom out”. Show one subject/scene (whatever you like) from up close and far. Let’s see how different things seem when you have a closer look. Take your time posting for this challenge and don’t forget to have fun. Happy Thursday!
I have two cameras with serious zoom lenses and most of the time, those are the cameras I use. Why? Because no matter how superb my other cameras are, I never know what I’m going to shoot and a good — long — zoom is the difference between getting the shot — or missing it.

Just look at the power in that water! You captured it well, Marilyn.

We may have to revert to some of those good old fashion ways.

I’m with you all the way Sistah! I tend to keep some kind of “zoom” on my camera, even if it’s the kit lens (14-42mm) which isn’t too bad. I’ve seen a lot of shots taken with it by pros on the Olympus site that look great. I’ve also had some good experiences on my own using the “kit” lens. I do like the 12-50mm and 14-150mm zooms, but boy do I have to be steady of hand at the higher focal lengths.

I take the FZ300. And I have a little Leica with a 7X lens that fits in my bag. I have to have a reasonable idea of what I’m going to shoot to haul out all the lenses. Almost ALL my lenses are NOT telephoto. Mostly, they are prime so i have to do a lot of running around. Or … limping around.

Well, I figure that chances are the first shot, I want, will not afford me enough time to decide on a lens so my chances of getting it are increased by having a zoom attached. I’ll go for the primes when I have more time to set up.
