Bahamas shells

I brought this mat of shells back from my trip to the Bahamas. A different view of it may well feature in a future blip when other inspiration is lacking. Notice anything about this entry? ...



... Yes, the deed is done. My "old" camera has been retired due to ill health, although not abandoned completely. Today I received an early birthday/Christmas present. (part only 8 days early!). Thankyou to everyone who offered advice this week and pointed me in the right direction for research, it was very helpful as I considered different options. Blip also proved helpful as I discovered I could search based on the type of camera used, so thankyou to those who replied to my queries about this specific camera. It's very similar to my previous camera which I have loved, but with a greater spec.

I feel I had a bargain as it was reduced due to end of line. I had an interesting shopping experience, having been horrified last night when the price had gone back up quite a bit from what it had been all week. But I finally managed to buy it on the high street for the lower price I had seen!

Not much time this evening to experiment with it. Quite impressed with the way it coped with this low light hand held macro shot. Looking forward to playing with it next week when I have a week off work.

Sometimes falling down steps has an advantage ... but I'll try not to do it again!
