Robyn Gallagher's photostream  

Hey, it's Robyn's Flickr account, where you will find photos of places I have been, a bit of street art, plenty of Wellington, and other things that tickle my fancy.

Weapon of choice

I use a Canon PowerShot S95. I like it because it's a digital compact yet with much of the control available on a DSLR. It's always in my bag, ready in case I stumble across something that needs to be shot.


I use a I like it cos it's a digital compact so it doesn't freak people out the way an SLR does, yet it has the flexibility of an SLR. Not that I use the aperture priority setting, but it's nice to know it's there.

Ye olde

Previously I used a Canon PowerShot G9. Canon's G series is excellent, and I worked my G9 hard. The S95 is a more compact version of the G12, only beaten by the G12's powerful zoom and flip screen.

Before that I used a Canon IXUS 700 with a sweet 1 gig card. I took it everywhere with me and it served me well and taught me things.

My first digital camera was a Fuji MX-1700. When I bought it back in '00, it seemed really small, and no one recognised it as a camera so I could stealthily use it in public. A decade on, it's clunky and everyone knows it's a camera.

Prior to that I used a slew of disposable cameras, which I am still partial to.

There may also be a few scans from my old Pentax P30n SLR, and before that, I had a cute little Afgamatic that used 110 cartridge film. It was my 10th birthday present.

Otherwise

When I'm not taking photos of things, I write about things here on my blog, and can also be found on Twitter and Tumblr.
