New camera kit

I have recently upgraded my camera! Gone is the little IXUS 400 and in comes the Canon Powershot A570IS - yes I have stuck to a compact camera as I hve kept my INON external lenses. All I needed was a new housing and a new lens mount. The cost of my upgrade was about £250 but I managed to recoup £150 of that selling my old kit on eBay!

The PowerShot gives you manual control over the camera which means you can make better use of easy things like manual white balance, ISO speed, as well as using the apature and shutter speeds to control depth of field etc. I have also moved up to 7.2 megapixels from 4 megapixels so I can enlarge my photos and get them on my wall at A4 without loosing quality!

Now all I need is 'the' shot!

So with that in mind, this August Bank Holiday my family & I headed to St. Abbs with my re-breathing friend Craig to chill out and get some dives in...
