Penguin Ice
Daily Photo – Penguin Ice
Here’s one from a fun day in Antarctica where I spent the day with thousands of penguins. You can see a few of them that ventured away from their “nest” (basically a circle of rocks) down onto the ice flows to go fishing. Even though I thought the penguins were cute, I was kind of hoping for an Orca to come up so I could see a takedown.

My New Camera
Daily Photo – My New Camera
Been enjoying traveling the South Island of New Zealand with my new Sony a7CR – it’s a great camera! I think I went at least 5 years without getting a new camera, so I decided to treat myself and there are some other more practical reasons too, which I’ll explain in future posts. There are a lot of options on this thing and I’m still figuring it out. Maybe in another life I was a Japanese savant that knows how to use these menus, but not in this one. Here’s one of my early test shots…

That New IG Crop
If you missed it yesterday, here’s how to do that (probably buggy) IG post type that gets quite a bit of interest…
1) Go to https://business.facebook.com/latest/composer on your laptop/desktop) – untick FB in the interface if it is connected, leaving IG on.
2) Do the text.
3) Upload the image (in this case the image is 2.1k x 7.4k) and as it’s uploading immediately hover over the publish button.
4) Publish becomes clickable for about 0.25 seconds before the error kicks in about crop.
5) Whack the publish button during that 0.25 seconds!

A Fun Weekend
Daily Photo – A Fun Weekend
It’s been a crazy few months here with a major project or two coming together so this weekend I’m off to a festival here in NZ as a little treat. I guess after settling back into the groove on my return I should talk about my new camera. 🙂

Above Jack’s Point
Daily Photo – Above Jack’s Point
Another day, another hike! I’ve been out enjoying this weather on looooong walks about 3-4 hours a day, listening to all sorts of audiobooks. I usually carry a few pieces of fruit that I eat like a primate while my monkey brain tries to figure out these books.

Neo-Flaneur Attempt #3 – Scottish Sunset
Join Stu and I on a wander along the amazingly beautiful coast of western Scotland at sunset.
You can move the camera around any time you like to choose your own view. Be sure to set the video quality as high as your system can handle too. I think this is my favorite one yet. Enjoy!

Daily Photo – The Pixel 6 Pro and Portraits
Here’s the Pixel 6 Pro doing a really decent job of capturing a detailed portrait. Pretty close to DSLR quality… certainly close enough for sharing for social media at least.
