Nicole & I leave for Alaska, soon.
We've been unable to locate our camera.
A once-in-a-lifetime trip, without a camera, would be bad.
After we exhausted even the ridiculous, like calling Anne to learn if we'd left the camera at their house, and searching the basement, Nicole told me to go pick another camera (Happy Birthday to Me!). I selected the Canon Powershot S5, largely on the strength of that review, and the fact that I'd like to (at some point in the future) try attaching my camera to a spotting scope (birders call this practice "digiscoping"). This camera is not an SLR. But it's the next-best-thing, and Canon makes an adapter that allows it to accept additional lenses -- and also to be connected to an adapter for a spotting scope.
Here are a couple of pictures I took with it:
Piper:
Last rose in the front weed-bed:
And, the picture of Spud I mentioned in my last post:
Oh -- and the missing camera? Well, I had to use something to take that picture of the new camera, didn't I? </sigh>
