Hm. That’s my opinion of the new camera so far. I knew it was cheap, but the specs sounded decent enough, and it’s fine for general shots, not that I have taken many so far. Zooming in isn’t so successful, but I’ve not wrestled with all the settings yet. I will leave that for the master to look at because he understands the macro thing. Here’s a shot using the zoom.
That’s the barge/crane that’s been working away on the Petalo road to the petrol station and Blue Star dock (still don’t know its official name). I believe the waterside is being expanded there for some reason.
I went to collect the delivery (camera) yesterday around half nine, once I had written 3,000 words of some sort – I will reorder them into better positions today – and it was a 50/50 visit. Sometimes, when you have things to achieve down in Yialos, you get them done with no queues, no waiting, all successful, and there’s transport waiting to take you back up the hill. Other days, it all goes to hell in a handbag and takes twice as long. Yesterday was half and half. The walk down was pleasant, and there was no need to rush. The post office had ‘Back in 5 minutes’ written on it, so I went to ACS and only had to wait five minutes behind a confused customer. (Mobile technology hadn’t reached their part of the world, it seemed.) Back to the post office, open, in, nothing to collect, out, and onto the tech shop for a card for the camera. Easy, done, sorted, and onto the greengrocer, because one of my side quests was to find mushrooms and mayonnaise. No mushrooms, but I bought some onions and potatoes. All done, off to find transport.
None, so a slow walk up, stopping now and then to chat to people, which lessens the blow of the steps when you haven’t done them for a while. Around to the supermarket, found mushrooms and mayonnaise, and back home to drip dry.
Where, later in the day, I was able to experiment with the new camera, and caught these overhead…
Don’t worry, they were gone by evening and haven’t come back. Yet.
