New Camera
Submitted by Andy Mac on Wed, 2008-02-20 20:25
Well the FEDEX man arrived today with my new camera. The drama's with my old one have still to be resolved, but this one is more a still camera than a dedicated movie one.
Its a Panasonic DMC - FX18, fully functioned with high quality lenses. 8.1mp.
Here are a few test shots this evening, scaled down significantly to fit on the site, but you will get an appreciation for the type of fish pcs it will be capable of capturing at the Monte's next week.
another one
one more

Hi Ya,

It takes some good pics Andy.
Is this a new one you bought coz you got sick of waiting or one they sent you as a loaner?

Its a new one
They have agreed to replace the movie camera because of the noise issue, but they have stopped making the one that I had, so I have to wait until they get in stock of the lower version, which they still make.

Dito Andy,

New camera
Hi all,
It seems we are all at it.
I recently replaced my old 35mm with a nice new Pentax K10D.
I have put a 4GB Sandisk Extreme card into it and at full 10mp resolution that will store nearly 900 single pics, yes that's a nine and two zeros!
It sure beats the S#7$ out of any 35mmcamera I've seen.
Where I am its winter and raining and we have no fish so my piccys are basic boring, tho I love the sunsets..............must try Aussie sometime?

Have a great trip Andy! Nice photos!
G'day Andy - nice photos mate! (Laughed at Oddy's comment on the pyramid - briefly thought it was one myself).
I purchased a non SLR digital myself a while ago (also with RAW) and have spent some time 'messing with it'.
Sounds like you had some dramas there too mate, hope they get sorted!

That is really nice salty
Love the colours. Blow it up and frame it. Pay a fortune at the galleries for a pic like that.

Montes
Hi Andy we have been watching the weather from between Exmouth and Montes all day, and yes it wasnt looking to good this morning for departure on sunday, but it has all changed, looking really good now, bernie and the rest of the crew are really looking forward to it, and the game fish should be really biting after the cyclone.
Im sure you are going to get some great photos of the Montes with your new camera, look forward to seeing them.
We had some strong winds the other night with the eye of Nic passing just 5ks of shore from Coral Bay, no damage and everyone is safe, few trees down and one shed.

Montes
Bernie reckons with the weather looking so good, he might go out wide again and look for another Broadbill Swordfish on this Montes trip. There is another Fish Wrecked member going on the trip, Nathan Hume, he is also flying up to Exmouth from Perth, will be watching out for you Andy.
