Test-driving the FZ28

Snapped these up with the new box on a walk in the park on Saturday morning.

Calotropis gigantea

Calotropis gigantea - one of my favourite weeds, because there's always much happening on its leaves and flowers.

Lunch?

See - what did I tell you? This chap was sitting here waiting for brunch.

Spider on milkweed

Closer crop. I need a macro lens for any more detail. Donors, listening?

These look pretty sharp, Beej.
I like the colours I see. I got myself a FZ-18 in Dec, 2007 and used it heavily until I got my first dSLR in Sep, 2008 for macro work. Now I hardly use the panasonic.

Thanks, Amila! I've been drooling at the sharpness myself. I'm going to take the FZ28 for a spin in the Himalayas next month and I hope to bring back something nice. I think I'll follow in your footsteps after I've earned my stripes.

Greetings,

My name is Barbara O’ Brien and my blogging at The Mahablog, Crooks and Liars, AlterNet, and elsewhere on the progressive environmental blogophere has earned me the notoriety of being a panelist at the Yearly Kos Convention and a featured guest blogger at the Take Back America Conference in Washington, DC.

I’m contacting you because I found your site in an environmental search and want to tell you about my newest blogging platform —the environmental concern of Asbestos Litigation Blog at www.maacenter.org/blog —where I am looking at critical issues in new light. Our shared concerns include asbestos contamination of the environment, environmentally safe workplaces, green public policies, health, and green building.

To increase awareness on these important issues, my goal is to get a resource link on your site or even allow me to provide a guest posting. Please contact me back, I hope to hear from you soon. Drop by our site www.maacenter.org in the meantime.

Please contact me back at the below email address

Thanks,

Barbara O’Brien
