farewell to an old friend by ltodd

farewell to an old friend

while swimming after kayaking and trying to photograph the sea mullet underwater in the cove, my underwater camera decided to impersonate a sponge and ingest copious amounts of water.... so this photo of my daughter is the last photo ever to be taken on the camera (yep, that's water on the *inside* of the camera folks!!) and retrieved from an apparently waterproof SD card!!

RIP little camera.....but in truth, I can't wait to replace you with a better model.
Lovely photo... Too bad about the camera... I have the Olympus tg (I think?)... Makes me crazy to use because it just isn't a DSLR, but did the trick when we were in the Bahamas last year...

@northy yes I am tossing up between a new waterproof compact and a waterproof case for my Canon Powershot S15 (are the same $). The Olympus micro seems to have reasonable reviews - I was always disappointed with the Pentax. Also about to bite the bullet & go MAC Book Pro - ahhh.... have procrastinated for almost a year - any tips?

It was a bit of a learning curve to go from pc to Mac... But I can't imagine going back now... And generally speaking I can switch quite easily between my work pc laptop and the Mac...

Main tip is go w the most memory possible... I didn't and that's my only regret... Working w raw files and Photoshop eats up space really quickly... I move everything into external storage, but still occasionally run into space challenges...

Oh, man... BUMMER about the camera. But how cool to upgrade!!! I've been thinking of a Mac as well, but all the software I own for the PC. What a royal pain and $$ to switch. Good luck!

@aikiuser I hear a program called Partition will run my PC only programs. Will let you know if it works
