Exceptionally Uncaught

I got my first digital camera on Friday. It's a Panasonic Limux FZ20. A black one. I figured I'd post some of the photos I took over the weekend. I've got some more, but these are the ones that are on the camera at the moment.

This is a shot of a balloon we saw while driving on Saturday morning. I was pretty impressed with how it came out, considering it was take at maximum zoom through the windscreen of a moving car. If you look carefully on the left-hand side, you can just see the camera hanging off the side of the balloon.


The second shot isn't quite as good - by that point we were virtually under the balloon, which made the angle tricky. But you can see the balloon camera better.


We wondered past a couple of amusing shops in China Town while we were in Sydney, so I thought I'd get shots of them as well.



This was a bird I spotted out by the water as we wondered around the harbour looking for somewhere for breakfast. I used the rapid fire mode on the camera, and this was my favourite.


Finally, this guy had decided to move in while we were away. I decided to test out the macro setting before I let him go on the golf course.
