Just a minor update to the site design with a narrower and cleaner layout. I decided to update my old “sunrise from a 747″ photo that I’ve used as the header for a while now (taken in Feb 2000 on the return flight from my first ever overseas trip!)
The photo I’m now using was taken [...]

I’ve uploaded some photos from Day 5 - Buenos Aires, Day 6 - Buenos Aires - Zoo, Day 7 - Buenos Aires, Day 8 - Buenos Aires to San Carlos de Bariloche. and Day 9 - Bariloche

A couple of photos from Day 4 - Santiago to Buenos Aires are now online.

I’ve uploaded some more photos from Day 3 - Santiago

I took a heap of photos over the first couple of days and then went and started studying some photography basics to learn how to more effectively deal with stuff like this. I also had to read the [...]

I thought I’d go back and post some of the better photos I’ve taken since getting the Canon EOD 40D DSLR back in early December.
Canon digital cameras have automatic file numbering starting at 0001 and wrapping when they get to 9999. Our first digital camera - a Canon S50, got up to 0293 … the second time [...]

We had planned to go to the zoo today - spend the day trialing our gear (boots, pants and day packs), while also practicing with our new cameras (the DSLR and the new digital compact which arrived on Friday). We even packed some of the left-over meat and salad from Christmas lunch so we could [...]
