YVR_cruise_lover Posted July 30, 2013 #6 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I have never seen a plane "decorated" like that. A quick Google search comes up the following: "Condor Flugdienst (Frankfurt) has introduced new “Janosch” Boeing 767-300 logojet. Janosch and Condor are teaming up in support of “A Heart for Children”. Condor has supported this organization for the past year and a half and has contributed a portion of its ticket sales. This includes an auction of aircraft models with the Janosch markings. The proceeds are fully passed on to “the A Heart for Children” fund. The pictured Boeing 7673-330 ER D-ABUE (msn 26984) is covered with the images of the animated heroes and will be the flagship for worldwide attention to the project. All other Condor aircraft will also carry the charity logo and a Janosch character in the Condor logo" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krazy Kruizers Posted July 31, 2013 #9 Share Posted July 31, 2013 There was a time when we used to have a couple of hot air balloons go over our house. Haven't seen them in years -- guess the owners thought they were too expensive to maintain and operate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one got closer than usual and a good target with a 20x zoom with my pocket Lumix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted July 31, 2013 #11 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I always enjoying seeing the hot air balloons. On our last stay in San Diego in April we didn't see any. Usually we see at least one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victress2007 Posted August 3, 2013 #20 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Practicing with the zoom - I need more practice! Ducks practicing their formations I guess I need more practice keeping the zoom steady, I've only got a couple weeks until Alaska! I wanted to try out the polarizing filter, but it was a cloudy day.

Krazy Kruizers Posted August 3, 2013 #21 Share Posted August 3, 2013 I think you are doing very well. Better than what I can do. In the last picture I also some turtles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vic Nice shots. Your camera did a nice job of showing the raindrops hitting the water. Does your camera have a viewfinder or just the LCD screen? Mine has a viewfinder so I usually brace one hand somewhere on my face to help keep the camera steady. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victress2007 Posted August 3, 2013 #24 Share Posted August 3, 2013 It has a viewfinder and I was using it. Those weren't raindrops, I think they were minnows (judging from the water I was near). I didn't notice the turtles until I saw the pictures. Those ducks held their formation while I watched - I was quite impressed - but they kept looking left and right and messing up the line that way (I'm an AF dependent, Navy vet and Army (retired) wife -I notice these things!) I did get better as I used it. The Sony HX200V has a 30X lens with a 60x "clear view" and now I know I need to have a hand braced against something for stability. The ducks were taken unbraced, but not at a complete zoom, the heron was braced and pretty full zoom. I learned a lot, and I'm lucky enough to be in an area that I can go practice some more wildlife shots before we head for Alaska. Vic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've learned to pretty much stay below the 30x range (which is optical - 30 to 60 is "digital" and you can lose some resolution. But I love it.
