Gidday all........no stumpys this time, just a couple of "out the window" shots.

I was lucky enough to get myself a free CHC-AKL-CHC trip yesterday biggrin.gif and while there (akl) shot into the city for a look around, and found a great camera deal.(nice little fujifilm s1500...ex shop demo)Took it out of the box on the plane comeing home (NZ553) and snapped a couple , not really knowing if they would come out. Good thing i did....coz i took the old cybershot up there, and left the batt at home dry.gif

So now , hopefully, i will get back into spotting and posting something worth seeing, once i get a rating on the camera.









Cheers
ps: HT....Thanks for the tips thumbup1.gif

Nice! I love wing shots for some reason. Quite a nice way to make use of having to sit in that area too. Sure the wing obstructs your view downwards but you can still get cool shots like that.

Edit: Oh forgot to mention that camera is very similar to mine. Not bad for what they are really.

Thanks , now i feel better....(couldn't find anyone who had one)Im just a bit confused about the date /time thing on the camera....if i look at the pic details, it says i took the pic in march 2009? maybe because it was a shop demo, and needs to be reset.

Disregard that....just found the thing to alter it.....thanks Ham smile.gif
