A SALA Festival exhibition opening

South Australia's SALA festival, a celebration of the visual arts, runs from August 7th to 23rd; over 400 exhibitions in and around Adelaide and across the state.

Yesterday we attended the opening of Likeness, a photographic exhibition by Angie Bate. This is Angie proudly posing in front of part of her display.

You can see Likeness in the foyer of Flightpath Architects at 101 Hindley Street, Adelaide. The exhibition is open for viewing from 9am to 5:30 Monday to Friday.

Full details of the SALA festival are available on www.salafestival.com

Hide and seek

Last week I bought a new camera; so today I spent a couple of hours at the Zoo trying it out. These two playful fellows were quite entertaining.

Over the past year for this blog, I have been using a Panasonic Lumix FZ-50 (10Mp, 12x optical zoom) and I have been very happy with it. I used to have a film SLR, and have missed some of its capabilities. I have now bit the bullet and bought a DSLR - a Nikon D90 with two zoom lenses. So far I am impressed, but I have a lot to learn to get the best from it.

I have been rather busy lately and not posted as regularly as in the past; hopefully my new toy will renew my enthusiasm and commitment.
