Yep, I’m really enjoying my new camera.

Only last night I was looking at shots I took in Sapa, Vietnam last year with my little sureshot. I’ve hardly got any decent photos of the hill tribe people in the north because the that peice of crap camera I had, wouldn’t take photos as soon as I pressed the button. There was always a delay. The telephoto end of the zoom was total unsharp mush and in general the lens had way too much barrel distortion. Let’s not even talk about the blown out highlights!

Arrrrggghh!

Thanks for the kind words and I’m glad you enjoyed the post.

Glad you liked it. A lot of those things might sound exotic to you but I can tell you that when I lived in North America, the idea that bears could coming into my tent as I camped used to freak me out. After living in a country (such as yours) that has large terrestrial carnivores, the bush here in Australia seems so mild and tame.

My wife and I did a few comparison shots between our little cannon sureshot and the new Fuji DSLR and the difference really surprised me. It was like chalk and cheese.

I had previously said that I’d cook the meal and my mother-in-law is not someone you’d want to disappoint or mess around. So it was, head down and bum up, at the stove!

The bluish thing is a puddle from the storm during the night. Goes to show how dry it is here that so much water would just soak into the ground.

And, ok, after being “shattered” you made this meal and calvodos sorbet, too?? And,is that a Saab outside your in-laws? Kidding, kidding. Don’t reach for a sharp object.

And, finally, in the photograph of the daylight trip to Tallong to get paper, there is a small bluish thing hugging the road in the middle of photograph. Is that a puddle of water? It looks so dry I was wondering.
