Your A530 is kinda old (announced 2006). Saving for a DSLR? (BTW, I had a Canon p&s from that time period die this month. Jammed lens. But not used very much over the years, and there was a lens noise for the last couple of years.)

Re the Blough pic...I'd suggest a tripod, but I don't carry one around, so I'll keep my mouth shut.

BTW, thanks for your regular posting of life on the river. Always take a look at the pictures.

Thanks for the pointers. Recently I invested in a newer model, but it doesn't have a view-finder and I just cannot adjust to or get comfortable with trying to see images on a screen which reflects me and everything behind me more clearly that what I want to photograph!

I have a tripod, but was expecting the Blough to make it to the Bridges in good light, so never thought of taking it along.

Yesterday's "classic blunder" was not realizing the camera strap was across all of my Herbert C. Jackson shots! Keeps us humble, right?

Destination Conneaut. (More daylight would have been better, but I had to try.  Maybe I should have held my breath when pressing the shutter button!)
