We stayed at Die Tuishuise, a street of historic cottages which have been restored and furnished with antique furniture. It was the night before full moon and I had to try this. Could have let in a bit more light, but I'm still learning the camera.

Karoo cottages at moonlight
Ok, so its not the second installment of the Settler story yet, but that will still come. Last Thursday I took the step up from my compact digital camera and bought myself a new camera. Ok, so the budget does not allow for a professional camera with different lenses, but it did allow a Fujifilm Finepix S8000 with 8 megapixels and 18x optical zoom. I took it along to Cradock for our weekend away and here follows the first post of a pic taken with it. Why this one? Cause I would not be able to take it with my old camera.

Cool moon shot! I like how it looks like daylight (the moon) with the night house in front.
ReplyDeleteGlad the new cam is working out for you. It is a good one. Fuji has awesome sensors. We expect more pictures now.....:-)
