For the ancients/arthritic/or just not steady

Just totally blown away by what my old SX50 HS was able to do for me at 1/10 @ 1200mm. Image is resized but still shows the clarity from a shot where the owl was in the cover of tree in early evening.

When you took this shot, were you looking through the viewfinder or using the LCD at the back?

1/10 sec is extremely slow for a long shot at 1200mm, and the image does show a lot of camera shake.

Through the viewfinder. Does show what the image is of to share and yes 1/10 is EXTREMELY slow. Hence the post.

I accept that you are showing a crop image, can you please post the original one without cropping?

What made you end up at 1/10 sec? For example, what was your ISO?
