A friend had emailed me to see if I wanted to buy pocket camera she had recently purchased and I had agreed. So I met them downtown, completed the transaction started to test the camera. My first few shots seemed pretty bad and I discovered a pretty dirty lens so the next few were better.
This little Canon has a 16x optical zoom and up to 64x digital zoom, plus it is a 16 MP unit so it really is pretty powerful. So far I must admit that I am not very impressed with the quality compared to my other camera but I will keep it as a backup for now. maybe I will get better with it as I experiment.
At noon I had a short meeting at the Alliance Francaise regarding volunteering as a photographer for their 3-day music festival starting tomorrow. I had already volunteered to cover four venues on Friday night but was specifically requested to help at the opening with the Cuenca Symphony Orchestra tomorrow night so I acquiesced. Gosh, I even have a Press Pass that lets me go anywhere in the festival.

Hope you enjoy the photos. That was the day's excitement, Cheers, Al  |
