Stuck with Canon PowerShot G7

Believe it or not, this is the first time I have a digital camera that’s hard to get rid of. I used to fancy small digicams but after having problems with the battery-life I have stopped hunting for new ones in the market. This Canon PowerShot G7 is my fourth digicam and it was hubby (as always) who decided to purchase it after checking all the specs and reviews. We’ve had it for about five years now. Although it’s not as slight as the previous ones I had, I love to tuck it in my bag anywhere I go to take pictures.

My five-year old Canon PowerShot G7

The last time I checked for the latest models of Canon PowerShot it was the G12. It looks a little bigger than G7 and I could imagine how it would be in my hands. I have taken good photos with my 10-megapixel Canon PowerShot G7 and the battery is still working great. I must say it’s the best digital camera I’ve ever owned. As you can see, it doesn’t look like the normal handy and compact digicam but it resembles more of the good old film camera. Even so with that look I don’t want to bargain it with the small ones.

Oh, no! Blue Snow!

blue snow and why?

There is no such thing as blue snow but why do I make the snow blue in my pictures? In the world of failed photography I think I succeeded in this. I often get blue snow even if it’s clearly white in reality. I’ve read before that it’s not a good picture of a snow at all. When this failure repeats every now and then I decided to search for answers why it is happening. Fortunately, I found ephotozine‘s website that has an article about why snow appears blue.

Speaking of snow, we had our first real winter of the year past Saturday and the happiest were the children enjoying their ride on the sledges. Finally, this season shows what it’s supposed to show. Though I wish it would be over soon.

Is it Too Late to Learn to Swim?

It’s shocking to hear that a cruise ship so huge ran aground despite the high-tech navigation system that most ships like this have these days. Although the incident was caused by human error it doesn’t keep me from thinking that untoward situations while traveling can happen no matter how advanced technology has contributed to the safety of the individual. It’s no use reiterirating the said news for I’m sure you know about it, too. When hubby and I are doing a road trip it’s somehow tempting to take a ferry to avoid a long drive to cross the lands.

I’ve been on a ship many times since I came here. Sometimes I cross the border with my friends by sea. But the truth is if anything happens, I mean really bad happens aboard a ship, I will be in real disaster of my life because I can’t swim. When I heard the news of that cruise ship gradually sinking I told hubby I wanted to learn to swim. He laughed at my statement and I knew he didn’t believe that I meant it. Swimming for most of us in the Philippines is just for fun while Sweden offers a lesson in swimming in all schools requiring the students to pass.
