The new photograph at the top of the Blog was provided by my eldest daughter using her digital SLR Camera.
I also have an SLR, it cost me £800 in the 1980's and it uses that strange stuff known as FILM. It is a Canon auto everything model and you auto focus by half pressing one of the few buttons. Well, you auto focus on a nice bright day as it doesn't do dark. Or cloudy for that matter, or vague images. Nice and Sharp images in bright colours with distinctive outlines; that's what it does. And all for the price [then] of a small car. The strange thing is, you see the image as you press the button, but you have no idea if the photograph will look the same when you get around to developing the film, several weeks or sometimes several months later. The pace of modern technology is quite astonishing, and my current mobile phone takes a better picture than my SLR. And I suspect that a modern disposable camera would be just as good. Now that is something that I couldn't find when I visited Accra - a modern disposable camera. Hey ho as Pauline says, as my digital point and shoot and my mobile phone done a good job while I was in Africa.
