Boys' toys

The last couple of days I haven't spent much time in blogland - other distractions

Last Thursday - I think it was Thursday, that's the trouble with the Christmas /New Year period, days merge - I bought myself a new toy, a Canon G9 camera. I'm afraid I haven't got any shots to show you - still working my way through the 273 paged instruction manual. The display on the LCD monitor looks more like the cockpit of a Eurofighter jet than a camera - my old box camera only showed the number of photographs taken.

I reckon after I have worked out when to use Raw data and ND filter, not to mention AE lock and AF frame, I will be able to take my first photograph in about three days. But then I've got the 88 page Software Starter Guide to work my way through, before I will be able to download the images to my computer.

Perhaps it would have been better to have bought one of those disposable cameras!
