Strangely Perfect

All good things come to an end and it’s time to move on from my Fuji FinePix F30 to something else… After seeing my mate Len’s Ricoh compact I was tempted by the new one, the R10.  However, most reviews I read were less than complimentary. So fishing about I hit on the Panasonic Lumix [...]

As the recent cold weather came to a close, I was fortunate to get a few unique pictures on my trusty Fuji F30 before the peculiar atmospheric conditions returned to normal!

Many moons ago, before Crawling Chaos, I had an interest in astronomy.  In those days, only professionals took photos of stars and it was hard, as you needed plates and plate holders stuck on the back of your telescope, and a dark room to develop pictures.  Telescope needed to be motor driven to track the [...]

Amadeus Meets His Nemesis in the Land of Make-Believe Photo Details These were all taken on my recently repaired Fuji Finepix F30.  Everything was on auto and with virtually no flash used.  It’s a shame it doesn’t have variable zoom and aperture when in video mode.  I could have done with that. Hopefully, you’ll get [...]

I think I’m the last one to find everything out, sometimes.  :-? The badger(s) that I’ve seen over the years and managed to get a photo on my Fuji F30 back in June, live a bit along the canal apparently.  This notice by the company that made a little housing development makes this clear. New [...]

Toddling off tonight with the dog, I had a little play with the thing.  Previously, here and here, I’ve talked about my knackered F30 camera.  I feel that its night vision isn’t the same as the previous one, but there is more lee-way with the settings.  What I mean is I think the ISO3200 is [...]

In an earlier post I mentioned that my camera, a Fuji F30 was broken and anyone could have it, if they asked because I was going to get a new one. Well that all changed.  And some people missed out on making money ;-) After some research into the current crop of cameras and doing [...]

My camera has bit the dust – literally and metaphorically.  Unfortunately, it’s had too many falls from a height onto a hard tiled floor which has bent the external case a bit and made picture taking inoperative.  Picture viewing is okay but everything connected with the “Go” button and the option mode selector on top [...]

Finally, after many times nearly standing on the thing while out walking the dog late at night, I’ve got a picture of our local badger!  Turning down to the canal in the pitch dark I nearly stood on it again – and it gave the dog a shock as well.  I don’t know what George [...]
