Above the Tree Line
This is a telephotos view (227mm FFE) of a small part of the Swiss Alps above the tree line. It was taken hand-held at eye-level from the landing area at the top of a ski lift.
I have been meaning to post it for years. Why? Not just because it is a pretty photo. For the other reason, see below.
NB - I am forever amazed at the sharpness of hand-held telephoto shots I could make with this little old (2007) super-zoom bridge camera (Panasonic DMC-FZ7).
This camera (and similar ones) have sensors with an area about 3% (!!) of the area of a full-frame 35mm camera. That is about the same area as the sensor in a modern smart phone. Unlike smartphones, they have a single (non-interchangeable, collapsible) wide angle to super-zoom lens at a tiny price. These cameras are pocketable.
Location: Taken from the landing area at the top of the Rinderberg ski lift. Zweisimmen, Kanton Bern, Schweiz.
