Lord Howe is a small (about 10x2 kilometres) rocky island in the Tasman sea about 550 kilometres East of Australia. It was listed as a World Heritage area in 1982. It has the most southerly coral reef on the planet.
I recently spent a week there enjoying the sights.
As I knew birds and BIFs would be prominent photographic subjects I elected to take my Sony RX10.4 bridge camera. This has more reach and speed than the Lumix FZ1000.2.
The Sony proved very suitable particularly with birds in flight which are relatively easy to photograph on lord Howe as some of them will come in close to humans.
