For the past two weeks I have been on holiday. We spent the first week in Sri Lanka and the second on an island in the Maldives called Ohuveli. During the first week we toured Sri Lanka visiting tea factories, botanical gardens and did even some white water rafting. Then we flew on to Male the capital of the Maldives, from there we took a 45 minute boat ride, but due to the fact we smashed into a corral reef at 1 in the morning and destroyed the engines of the boat it took us an extra hour. Finally we reached the island where we received special treatment for the mishap.
During my time away I had the perfect opportunity to test the ruggedness of the Canon PowerShot D10 we purchased for the trip, but most importantly I was able to really test its underwater feature set because of the wide variety of water based activities there are in the Maldives. In the Maldives it is hard to do anything that does not included getting wet due to the simple fact you are on an island surrounded by water.
On Holiday we took 6 Cameras but 3 of the cameras acted as our primary cameras. My Nikon D50 was one of the most used, then there was the Canon PowerShot D10 which we used mostly in the Maldives for all sorts of water based activities and finally there was my step mums which was used as the basic point and shoot. We could have used the Canon D10 as a point and shoot but it is a bit bulky to go in a pocket. After importing all the cameras in to Aperture I have nearly 600 photos. I created a set of smart albums to divide the photos by day and by which camera they were taken with, this helps me work when and by who they were taken making organization much easier.
I arrived back at 11 o’clock in the evening of the 26th to discover that Snow Leopard has been given a release date of the 28th. Being a giant Apple fan boy I instantly went to Apple.com and bought Snow Leopard without even hesitating (which is odd as I am not very impulsive). I am preparing for Snow Leopard by clearing my spear hard drive so I can do a back up with SuperDuper. I am planning on doing an erase and install to help clear out my machine, but it will require a lot of work and time in order to get back to a fully function computer.
