That is my camera! It is the bestest. Of point and shoots anyhow

oh awesome, you've got one? i've heard very good things about it. and while i don't want a dslr (too expensive, too bulky, too complicated!) i do want to be able to do more than i can with my current camera.

i'm very very excited!

That's my reasons for having gone with the Canon G series, they're great for that! You'll have fun playing. Can't wait to see pix!

oh envy! the lowest i'm finding it here in the states is about $375. *sighs*

yeah, it..wasn't cheap. but my parents gave me a bit of money for christmas, and they would have been terribly disappointed had i just spent it on rent, and i've wanted a new camera for ages, so i just bit the bullet and did it. i will deal with the fallout when my next rent is due!

took this one last summer on monte baldo.

Mmn, don't look too comfy does it. but for a view like that you can't complain can you?

well sometimes we were standing in the middle of a cloud so we couldn't see too far and during hiking my shoes chose to disintegrate so we had to turn back

So, high altitudes make things disintegrate? Is that what happened to the chair and your shoes? Poor you, I wouldn't go there again!
(it looks beautiful )

i also found a specimen of the most poisonous plant in europe (aconitum).

It's beautiful.

thank you motley

So is your kittie! I want one - I think hubby is slowly relenting. But he misses the birds in the garden when we have cats. We had five when we met and the last of them died last year. It was so sad.

Anyway, this is the sort of thing I see when I go walking!

cool. you don't see things like that where i come from.
your booze laws are far stricter than ours

i took lots of photos with my new camera last night

high iso makes the picture grainy. and you still have to hold it really steady when taking pictures in low light without flash, especially at high zoom.

but the shots are far and away better than with my old camera.

now i need to start learning how to use the settings. i'm not entirely sure what all the numbers mean as yet! and i'm completely in the dark as to which parts of the display refer to which features.

that's beautiful Lester.

but also a bit sad I think
