A rainy day in Wanaka
After months of reading and research last week I took delivery of a new S90 Canon compact digital camera. So this weekend with my good friend Roger in town, and with some dismal damp weather it was an easy call to have a catch-up and make some photos somewhere nearby and a bit different to our usual landscape photography:
Fish and Game's old Wanaka Hatchery on Bullock Creek...
Then the nearby Wanaka Cemetery...
I've always been a bit of an angel fan...
This used to be a joinery factory, then it became a gym, or was it a backpackers or both... it looks disused now though...
We had an audience - Roger's dog came with us and she was the drawcard...
I love my new camera. I wanted low light performance and it's got it.
This shot I made a few days ago is a hand held one. I also love the silence that pervades as the coldness deepens...

Well these are lovely photos but then I again I always thought all youer photos are great. DOes this mean that by any chance you are looking to get rid of your old camera. My one is very basic and I have been looking out for an upgrade myself.
The new camera is working well!
Dear Angel admirer,
Cool, sharp moody photos. Are you happy with the camera ?
there is so much choice today that i think I will stick with my old Box brownie that still works well. i have problems getting the film for it.
Take care, Bob
Kia ora Donald,
Great photos and looks like you and the new camera will be fine friends. I am in the market for a new camera myself, as my old digital has finally given up the ghost. I will have to start putting aside a few bucks. Hope you are staying warm down that way with the wood fire blazing.
Cheers,
Robb
Hi Bob
Well I reckon I've felt angels on ridges, and as the experience has always been agreeable, I have become an admirer!
The camera is amazing [Canon S 90] despite being so small it's hard to learn how to hold it. Long may I remain active enough so that I need a compact!
Cheers
Donald
>as my old digital has finally given up the ghost
I can't believe how they've improved so much in such a short time Robb.
Cheers
Donald
