DIGITAL PHOTOS

    Digital cameras started being on the market about 10 years ago, and were VERY  expensive, and low resolution.   Being  a vegan this was though a great step forward, because  old style photography  meant using gelatine, as the film source.  (Gelatine is  made from animal bones from the slaughter house).  I got my first Digital camera in 1999, the year of the Total Eclipse in England (Cornwall was about the only place one could, if it had not been cloudy,  have seen this rare phenomenon!)  It was a Kodak DC210Plus imega pixels and had a 2x zoom.  My picture taking increased  no end with this camera.  No longer did I need to keep buying film, and having to wait for it to be developed and printed…..wondering if they would   come  out  or  not!   Now with this  digital wonder and my computer I had much more control over my pictures.   Just over  a year ago, I had a  little  windfall, when a company I had a few shares in was taken over by another  and they gave share holders some cash!  So I spent mine on a  new digital camcorder, Sony DCR-TRV60E,  This allows me to take  movies on tape and the  memory stick, as well as still pictures on the memory stick.  I have been amazed by the quality of pictures I can achieve, particularly with close up.   This has opened up my eyes to the small things, flowers, insects,  etc   You can see examples of these  and many more in my Webshots albums.  I have listed here  all the public albums.  There is a  link provided to them here, my ID  at Webshots is Philcovers, so if link fails  go to Webshots and search for Philcovers.

     I also have a few other albums not open to the  public.  If anyone  wants an invite  please ask.
