Fstop's blog post - Compact Cameras, YES you can do it!

Most nights, my little free range pets sit out on the balcony and eat insects that are drawn to the light.

The weapon of choice is a Panasonic DMC-TZ11, YES you can do it with a Compact.









On a compact, shift it off "A" or "IA" [auto] select the little flower which denotes closer focus, and for these I selected flash on and in some Red Eye reduction flash. I aligned my subject using a small LED light and simply pushed the button. Depending if the LED was on or off, the Eyes of the frog are either dilated or not.

I was Gobsmacked, I was reading the Australian Geographic Nature Photographer of the year entries in 2013 a Finalist in the awards had used a compact!
Come on, no you cant do that? Not a National Award winning competition?

Well Yes You Can! A Panasonic DMC-FT3





If you need encouragement ...... YOU CAN DO IT!
