Just for fun.

I was leading a birdwalk at Boyce Thompson Arboretum, and I didn’t want to deal with my serious camera gear in addition to my duties, so I brought along a tiny Coolpix camera I’d rescued from the local Goodwill store. I was quite surprised by the image quality from such minimal gear, taken in auto mode and hand held.
