MUNGO EATS Latin America

We are now in the very small town of Puerto Pyramides, in the  Valdez Peninsula Nature Reserve.  Since the town is located in the nature reserve, it’s population is limited to 200 permanent residents, so it is tichy. 

It takes a FULL day to travel the perimeter of  the peninsula to check out the wildlife, so we will do that tomorrow.  Today was a casual day, I did take some time to play with the new camera, to get an idea of what it can do. 

I really like the black and white coarse grain setting, and I really like the macro setting on this camera.  You can zoom in incredibly close.  Check out this larger than life picture of Mungo’s nose that Sara took. 

Okay, maybe that is a bit to graphic for you.  Check out the more politically correct picture of barnacles.

The film grain mode made for some interesting shots.

It seems to do well with landscapes too.

It is still “big”, but the more shots I see, the more I can forgive this shortcoming.  I can hardly wait to try it on some animals tomorrow.
