This week I have finally bought myself a digital SLR camera. At last I may be able to get some snaps of equivalent quality to my old film SLR. Though a bigger zoom lens might have to be on my buying list.
I had to fly to a funeral in the South Island only a couple of days after getting it, so here a few shots associated with the trip to Blenheim.
