PC Show

I was at the recent PC show held here. Don’t think there was any records broken this year for attendance or sales as there was no mentioned of anything in the newspaper’s unless I missed it. But it was still crowded. I decided this year to go after work on a Friday (I figured I’ll beat the weekend crowded) but man it was still crowded. So many floors could not even find the Apple booth. I went to check out the Singtel booth but it was so crowded that I gave up. Headed for the StarHub area to see if I could get a better deal on my subscription but could not get a free helper there to answer my queries so in the end I just did a quick walk around of the floor area. Wanted to get some more photo paper but again queue was too long. Was about to head dome when I spotted the Camera bag area, it was not too busy and I had seem their advertisement for $30 camera bags. Lowepro pretty good brand. I saw their cheap $30 bags but it was really too flimsy. Then I saw their $80 bag usual was $260 or there about. It was a backpack and big enough to fit my camera with the battery drip it also had a place to hang the tripod which I though was good since during the visit to the zoo I had to lug around the camera bag plus the tripod. This really saves me a lot if I am carrying a tripod. There was a side quick access panel as well. It even had a ‘raincoat’ cover to protect it in case of bag weather. You can take it out at the base and it wraps around the bag. Again the zoo visit highlighted a need for some water proofing since it rain as well there. Pretty happy with the bag now can sell off my other 2 Lowepro bags that I got ha ha.

My Bag that I bought from the PC show and the only thing I got from it.

Speaking of photography, I got myself a simple water proof camera it uses normal 35mm rolls of film and man it has been a long time since I loaded one of these.

 

Finally got it loaded, Remembered to fire off the first few shots to clear the roll and it was off to take pictures. Photo’s actually came out, well at least something came back however really do miss the digital age where you can manipulate your shots after you have taken them but these cannot do that. Really should not be taking babies with these cameras wasted many picture like that but still great fun and it works.
