Today I had to go to Port Orchard so I took some shots along the waterfront with the SX50.
Still used all the focal length at ISO 400 and the results weren't too bad.
Sun stayed behind thin layer of cloud so it wasn't too dark but not the best.
I have cropped all of them and noted the percentage of original used under each photo.

I also shot one 2 minute video of a Hooded Merganser splashing around.
