Hi John,

Thank you for sending these pictures! They are fantastic!!

My wife and I are in the market for a new digital camera and I am curious to know what you are using. Your pictures are clear, vivid, and definitely worth keeping. Were all of these taken with the same camera? Will you tell me what it is?

Thanks,
Steve

Steve;

Thank you for visiting Birding In Maine!

The camera that I use is a Konica Minolta Dimage Z6. I also use various filters depending on sky conditions and lighting. Very little post-processing is done with Adobe Photoshop CS, mostly just to either crop or resize the images. All images I have been taking are from this camera. It is a lower end DSLR and I enjoy the ease of using it.

I will soon be getting a spotting scope and will be digiscoping with a Canon Rebel XT, a higher end DSLR. From this set-up, it will blow the mind of anyone seeing the pics. Up close and personal!

To start with, the Dimage Z6 is a great DSLR camera to start with, but be forewarned, it is not your basic point and shoot.

Thank you for the comments about my pictures, it is greatly appreciated!

Hi John, I and my family are visiting Maine , from the UK, in late July and ask for some guidance on what I may expect to see . We are staying a week on Windham Lake but I am interested if there are specific places worthy of a visit, should I be able to escape !! We have enjoyed Cape Cod for a number of years now and probably I have forgotten more than I can remember so each visit is another journey of discovery . I come armed with Sibleys books and Petersons CD's so would appreciate any specific birds that Maine has to offer.or if you can suggest a book to help etc that would be great ,

Thanks

Mick
