Another week another trip away.

This time was more fun though, an outward bound/team building course in the Lake District, near Lake Windermere. Just a few hours away from London is this rugged world that is not a unlike Highland Scotland but a lot closer and easier to get to! There’s loads of shots of the course on my Picasa site.

Given that we were going to be spending a lot of time out of doors, on the water and the forecast was for snow, I decided to leave my DSLR at home and used my Kodak M863 point and shoot. The last point and shoot I used was a Canon IXUS 2mp job…it was well built but the picture quality was awful. The Kodak is amazing! For £60 you get video, decent shots and the camera seems very ruggedly put together, surviving being splashed, dropped and knocked about. Okay the images are a bit noisy and get progressively poorer as you loose light, but for quick snapshots who cares?

This weeks shot was taken in the snow looking towards the hills at Teabay…a lovely part of the world, the film ‘Withnail and I’ was filmed not far from where we were staying…I loved it. Nothing fancy has been done to this shot, either in the execution or in post processing, just Point and Click!
