New camera and Tictac day, where are we, nine?

New camera arrived yesterday ( the other one broke in the line of yoga duty ). This time I went for the Samsung WB210 14mp, 12x Zoom and a 24mm ultra wide lens that can, through some fancy pants wizardry take 21mm ultra ultra wide shots. Had hope I'd be able to film movies in the 21mm but seems it only takes photo's.

It has the same kind of touchscreen as my Samsung galaxy phone, so quick to use and you get to choose which settings you actually want on the home screen rather than having to hunt through lots of menu's, like that.

Here are some test shots of the home shala on the ultra wide setting.







and one zooming in on the yoga bookshelf


Tictac Day 9
Context:  David's Viparīta Chakrāsana exercise

This is filmed on something called palette effect setting at 640x480 but i think there's another way of doing straight black and white, think this is some kind of vintage effect, hell of a lot of contrast, not sure about it. There is an HD setting but too slow uploading to Youtube.

This mornings, tictac work went well, dropped to the floor and tried to hop up from there, just to see, but still miles off that.



Looking at these pictures of the shala after posting this and I'm thinking I need a clear out, it's too....busy. too many things on the wall, too many bits and pieces lying around and that godawful sofa we inherited with the house has really got to go, 'though it is useful at the moment for the tictac work.

Can you see now how I gashed my foot the other week on chakrasana, not much room, supta konasana in particular is a problem.

Dear Grimmly
Looking at your home shala makes me want to have a room dedicated to it. It's nice to see all the books and posters. Congrats on the new camera. Looking forward to the pictures.
Cheers,
Arturo

Hi Arturo, got post from you an hour ago, thank you so much for sending the supine sequence posters, wasn't expecting you to send me a copy, that was very kind, thank you.

Quite spoiled having the spare room ( actually it's just a large room divided up by bookcases) nice of M to let me have the space.

Camera seems OK, was tempted to get something really fancy but prefer to have something I can stick in my pocket. Looking forward to giving it a good runout in Athens next week.
