Killington, VT

I recently went skiing in Killington, Vermont. These are some photos from the mountain peaks.

A Crazy Few Months... December 2010

Snow, awaiting replies from universities (3 offers + 1 interview so far!), exams, holiday, Christmas... lots of things that have kept me busy for the past few months. The most important thing?



Wouldn't change it for the world!

I didn't realise you could fall in love with a piece of technology...

So here is Toad... he was sitting on the patio again, although we're not sure if he's the the same toad. Still, I got to take pictures of him with my new camera. Copy of Flickr comments because I'm lazy:

In some ways I actually prefer this camera to my Canon EOS 350D. Why?. Firstly, it's compact. Well... it's more compact than a bulky SLR, which means I can take it pretty much anywhere. And when your main means of transport is by bike the size definitely matters. Secondly I actually prefer the manual focus on this camera. I don't know exactly why but it might be again just because it's smaller the focus is easier to change without the camera moving because my hand is shaking because the camera isn't really heavy and I'm a small(ish) person... and, obviously, it was a lot cheaper than the EOS 350D camera and the lenses so there's that nice thought of really getting your money's worth every time you take a photo. On the downside the image quality on the SLR is much better so when the situation allows I'd always use the EOS 350D, but having everything that the SX120 has... definitely a steal.

Girls and their toys.

I got a new camera - a Canon Powershot SX120 IS. It's awesome, here are some of the first photos I took with it. (Click images for larger/Flickr version)
