As well as my shiny (well sexy matte) black MacBook I’ve also got a new camera. The reason being that I’ve had a lot of occasions that I wish I had a good camera and was missing my broken old one. So I decided to indulge in a sweet Canon Ixus 850IS. It’s small enough to carry around all the time even in it’s soft case. It’s very cute. And now with iPhoto on my Mac (have you heard, I’ve got a new Mac…) the management of the images is ideal and straight forward.
On Friday I was lucky enough to indulge in one of the reasons that I really wanted the camera. In out offices at GRP we look out upon the city and sometimes, esp. at this time of year, we get the most stunning sunsets. Friday was one of those days so I went outside and took some shots. As the camera’s first test it performed beautifully. The next test is to see how it works when I’m pissed…

- Experiencing TrainFail. On the bus home listening to Stevie Wonder. Innervisions is a wonderful adventure in stereo. Best album of the 70's?
- Trains in Glasgow seem to be buggered. I smell lager.....
- Very tired yet the day has flown by.
- Up! Getting ready for work in 2009. Woo. Hoo.
- @nightkhaos checked them but O2 are offering 3 months free and are about £5 cheaper per month. Also they have a pile of good reviews. Cheers
- Not even a documentary on thatcher can send me to sleep. Or ordering broadband from O2. This is boring now.
Beautiful! I love getting new cameras. Just bought a Nikon D50 and absolutely can’t wait to use it on my trip to Europe in April.
Hi Nikki, the D50 looks way, way to grown up for me. You coming to Glasgow?

A beautiful shot, Stewart, as always. I love your photos. I need a new camera, my current one has a bad spot in the lens and it causes a slight fuzzing in one spot in many of the shots.
I’ve heard great things about Canon. I have two friends that are into photography semi-professionally and they both use Canons.
Someone after my own heart! Thanks for sharing that gorgeous sunset!!
Our family website is filled with the photos I can’t help but capture and share (with all who might be interested) of the breathtaking skies (and flowers) I see all the time! I love my Canon! My guys gave me a PowerShot S400 a few Christmases ago and it’s been my constant companion ever since! If I leave home without it…I feel like a lost puppy! LOL. I hate not being “armed” when that perfect shot happens!
Oh…and what kind of computer did you say you have? ROFL! Just kidding! Everyone can see that you are enjoying your Mac! : )
I hope your day is a beautiful one today…with many opportunities to use your new camera! : )
Cheers!
Nikki has the right idea. You don’t want to mess around when you go to Europe. We were digital camera-less when we went a few years ago, and quite a few of our photos came out a very nice dark shade of pure black. We only found out our flash wasn’t working corrrectly near the end of our trip. What a disappointment!
