Fractal Blog

I already have a compact digital camera. It has served me well for two years, and has probably been used more than most other cameras over many more years, and given lots of joy. A considerable part of its accomplishments have been showcased in this blog. However, it had started to become very unreliable on booting, to the extent that I lost some shots I'd have liked to have. Enter, a new camera. This one. A Canon Digital Ixus 70. Shiny.

Having got a new camera, obviously it needed to be tried out. These kookaburras in front of our balcony made a lovely composition to try out the zoom features.

That done we took it for a spin on the ferry. Very carefully, since Sydney Ferries has notices put up everywhere, declining responsibility for damaged items (or, indeed, passengers) as a result of travelling on an open deck area. This is a fairly obvious shot of the Harbour Bridge. Rather moody in the dusk, I thought.

This is a less obvious shot, of just the top of the bridge. Impressive optical zoom for such a small camera.

This is part of the CBD seen from a ferry just about to arrive at Darling Harbour. The reflections are lovely, and the colours superb. Pleased I am.
