Another miserable day weather wise, raining most of the morning. Tina was home and earlier than expected and after she had showered we went off out as it was her day off. We went to the stained glass place which Tina was impressed with. We were going to have a bit of lunch there but it was really very busy so we decided to go to the cafe on Oliver's Mount. That was fairly busy but there were empty tables. Lunch was really tasty and then we walked along to see the view, not a bright day but still an impressive view.
After that we went to B & Q where we got a set of drawers for Darren as they were a bargain and some garden pots (the reason we went there) as I have a lot of bulbs to plant and will also get some bedding plants to go in them. I thought pots would be better than putting more bulbs into the garden, as the pots will be able to come with us when we move on, When we got home we had a cup of tea and then I decided to go to the beach hut for an hour. Yesterday I got another camera, not that I am at all unhappy with the one I have got but have been looking at bridge cameras with more zoom. A bit like a cross between an SLR and a compact. I have always like taking photos and I should be able to take some good shots when taking wildlife. I took it with me to the hut, but haven't read up properly on the features yet, and I need Darren to sort out his tripod. The hut is a long way from the castle and I could zoom in pretty well.

This was about 4.30 pm, getting dark really early now. The north bay as I was walking back.
Dark in the park!
And a light in the leaves!
The low light capabilities of the new camera seem very good, specially as you were hand holding it! With two very nice cameras now, you have no excuse for not having one with you at all times :-)
ReplyDeleteIt is something I have always liked, so they will get good use!
DeleteGood for you with the camera, you have the money about time you did and got what you want. You will get better shots of Isobel. She won't know you are taking them instead of her poseing. The castle photo is pretty good especially as it was a dull and wet day. Well done. Xx
ReplyDeleteBeen reading up on the self timer and going to look a flexible tripod later. x
