Tonight's Twilight

[mcgillianaire]

Who knew? My old digicam still works. This is great news, London photo/walking tours beckon again! But for now the view outside my bedroom window will suffice. [Taken 23 Jul 2011]

Wow, gorgeous! I love a good sunset

Thanks. I love a good sunset as well and until I dug out my old camera, I thought I wouldn't be able to capture one of these delightful dusks this summer.

Heh; I've got that very Sony model (somewhere) myself. It (and you!) have done a very good job here; I really like twilight/sunset photos, but the colours so often fail to live up to what can be seen with the naked eye.

Sorry for not replying to this earlier! I thought I had... anyways. That's really cool you've got the same model camera! Does it still work? This was the first digicam gifted to me personally by my parents in January 2005 and with the exception of the flash and shutter, seems to be working fine. And thanks for praising the picture. You're right, colours are lost in these kinds of photos and even in this one the actual sunset was more beautiful than the picture I snapped, but it seems better than most I've taken before.

Yes, it still works. The battery cover is a bit loose these days, but it's still quite a nice camera to handle. One of the quietest zoom lenses I've come across on that sort of camera, too; most of them whine and whirr a good deal more.
