Camera Walks. Pentax *istD and Minolta Maxxum 3.

I go for walks around the local block for about 30mins to try and get fit.
I often take pics on my iphone or another camera as I go.
Here are some I have taken recently.
 Today I also took with me a mint condition Minolta Maxxum 3  film camera to try it out.
When I get some pics back I will post them here.
It is a beautifully made compact point and shoot film slr.
It has enough control to be a little creative but you have to rely on the inbuilt programs.

No manual control.

The other cameras pics shown here are from my Pentax *istD Digital SLR.
The first Digital slr Pentax made.
An oldie but a goodie.

 I took some of these same images today with the Minolta Maxxum 3.

My new Trading Blog.

I have set up  up a new blog which will be like my own trading post.
This will usually be linked to any ads I might have on gumtree in Australia.
Below is a link to my new site.

I intend to part with some of my treasures and there are some ads there already.

Photo Walk With Pentax *istD

Yesterday I went for a walk in my neighbourhood and took my trusty Pentax *istD digital SLR with me.
This is a six megapixel camera and the first digital slr that Pentax made.
Still one of the best in my opinion.
Here are some pics.

Monarto Zoo-South Australia

In June this year we had a memorable day out at South Australia's Monarto Zoo.
A Zoo where exotic animals can roam free and even a Lion Cage where you can have the shark cage experience but with Lions instead of sharks.
Not for us thanks.
A great place to visit when in Adelaide.
You view all the animals on safe enclosed bus tours but there are safe walking trails as well.
