When I need inspiration, I leave my notebook and head out to look around and discover. It’s amazing what detail one can miss whilst in a rush. This is one of those lucky finds. Outside our Indian apartment there is a lot of wildlife. Now considering that we are virtually in the centre of Bangalore, this is quite amazing. You might recall our visiting monkeys. Well, I had spotted a strange shape in the trees and really had no idea what I was looking at. A few days later, by lucky coincidence, the newspaper made it quite clear.
So, borrowing my wife’s camera I’ve snapped our busy neighbours. My smartphone is totally lacking in the optical zoom department (and the digital zoom is seriously flawed), so I now feel the need to acquire a real camera. Handy it is that in one week we head to Japan! And the best cameras? Yes all Japanese – Nikon, Canon, Sony… Any digital camera recommendations?
