Hi, I'm Tom, I like to do macro and nature photography as a hobby. I'm trying to get into more wildlife and landscape stuff. I use a couple compact, high crop factor mirrorless cameras, but I also like to play with weird equipment to try to get more out of 'bad' cameras (notably including a pink sanyo camcorder).
You can find more of my photo stuff at flic.kr/tfh11
Here are a couple examples of what I do:

More water lilies. I just learned they are also called "white nenuphars", a suitably grand name.

So, I decided that I'm going to work on my photography skills and got a camera that's actually built to handle things like wildlife and low light. I have a lot of learning to do, and I hope you'll enjoy tagging along with me. #mastophotography #mastoart #catsofmastodon

Better beav pic from the coolpix a900, and a bts shot showing how far away the heron was/how dark it was, which is why I couldn't get a good shot unfortunately.

While I was out testing that 80-200 f/2.8 + 2x teleconverter setup I also saw a beaver and a heron, very far away and... made an attempt... at getting pictures

Other random pix from wandering around

Nikonrumors thinks the coolpix a900 successor will have an evf and shoot raw but honestly I'd buy one just to get this exact camera with raw capture. Having a camera with this focal length range in my pocket all the time has completely changed what random shots I'm able to get. nikonrumors.com/2018/06/20/the

Coolpix a900 is my best friend
