Review: Canon SX60 Super Zoom Bridge Camera

Tired of lugging around your DSLR and all its lenses? Perhaps you may wish to consider the purchase of a super zoom camera. Many manufacturers have entered this market, including both Nikon and Canon. I recently completed a 365 day bird photography project where my camera was either a Canon sx40 or Canon sx60. The SX60 gives one a 60x magnification, which is very helpful when trying to get close enough for bird photos. Our fine feathered friends often spook quite easily. See my full review via my 365 Days of Birds web site.

Here is just one photo I took with the SX60, a Northern Hawk Owl.

New Mobile Friendly Design for NorthStarNerd.Org

Long time readers of my blog will notice a different design implemented as of today. As in the past, my design is simple without much "frills". Under the hood of the implementation is a design which will automatically adjust to render the best experience for the reader depending upon the device they use to browse the web ... a full sized computer, tablet, or smartphone.

I hope this design works. It is likely that I will tweak the design over the days and weeks ahead as I better understand its features.

Bookending the North Woods Night

We had a full moon this week with beautiful, crisp, clear and cold conditions to view the lunar display. I grabbed my camera and drove up to Hawk Ridge in Duluth. These two photographs were taken 13 hours apart ... bookending the North Woods night.
