Well I was off all last week so if you missed I’m sorry. I spent a week in sunny, warm and wonderful Florida. My parents live on the gulf side right on the Suawnee River, and my daughter lives on the Atlantic side in Port St. Lucie (about 40 miles north of Ft. Lauderdale) and I divided my time between them (and in the car) all the while clicking away with my trusty Stylus 1030SW Olympus digital camera. The 1030SW is a 10.1 megapixel camera, and shock and waterproof, plus it will operate down to 14 degrees. Thankfully I didn’t have to test the low tempeture capibility.
Before we headed home we went up the coast with our daughter to New Smyrna Beach just south of Daytona.
While I was on New Smyrna Beach I clicked off a few shots using my camera tripod, one of the little Bogen Manfrotto Tripods to be exact, and did a lot of hand held shootiong as well. I even got the camera in the salty water a few times with full confidence that it would continue to produce wonderful images. I have a few shot I think I’ll let the lab guys put on some Epson wide format paper after they pull them off my Sandisk Cards (yes they sell xD memory cards too). Below is a full frame and zoomed in close up I shot with that little Olympus digital camera.
The full frame (corrected for horizon a little).
Hand held and zoomed in, otherwise not modified. I like my Stylus 1030SW Olympus digital camera. A lot! It was perfect for this vacation.
