I do on my regular camera, but have not tried on my kayaking cameras, including the FZ300. I have not had that much trouble with reflected light off the water, sometimes it becomes a feature. And I am loath to have another set of surfaces to get wet. I do have a UV filter on it, and that has been a bit of a pain to dry out between trips. After cleaning, I take the filter off and put the camera and filter on a heating pad for a bit. But if I was taking more time for photography, if it was more central to the reason for kayaking, I would play with one.
If memory serves, some photos in the wildlife photo thread may have been taken with an FZ300:
Took these biking today. According to Google Earth the osprey nest is 100 yards from the bike path. I cheated and steadied the camera on a post for the close-up.
Zoomed out:
Ospreys of somewhat lower expectations.
Perhaps this pair has stooped to much lower predatations?
Though it’s an aerie that is very subject to a wicked tide,
I don’t suppose these swivel toes quibble over shorter workday glide.
Just came back from 10 days in New Hampshire (where I spent summers growing up). A very nice break from the heat and humidity in Florida. Did some hiking as well as paddling on Newfound Lake.
