Photographic Treasures

My first decent camera was this Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-S90 which I got in June 2005. I have taken some of my favourite photos with it.

It had started to turn off erratically earlier last year and in England in May/June I never knew whether I would get 3 or 30 photos out of it before it cut out and refused to turn on again for a few hours. I was still fond of it enough to bring it home and retire it to the shelf. I had my bigger Fuji with me, but this one was so portable and better on batteries.

I love my Crumpler Case, alas I have nothing to fit it at the moment. The pink tripod my darling bought for me, I thought it went nicely with my blue camera. It isn't really stable enough for the old D-SLR I am now using but I still used it on occasions, until the spring for the hot-shoe fell apart last month.

Keeping warm

For all the challengers experiencing the cold weather!

This is a treasure I had in mind when I started the challenge and have been pondering how to make it interesting. The hot water bottle is at least 35 years old and I was still using it during the winter of 2008. Until I noticed that when I emptied it pieces of rubber were also coming out.

I love it because without the ribbing, that our current hot water bottles have to have, I could use water straight from the hot tap water and it would still keep me warm.

Last winter I was visiting UK for a month and my husband quickly purchased an electric blanket for warmth, previously he relied on me warming the bed up for him, LOL.

Taken with the manual nifty fifty (which becomes a 100mm on the Olympus E-300) and window light.
