More shots with the new Kodak

A few more shots with the new Kodak z981 (the first two attempts here and here). First a bit of a grumble - I last used the camera on Tuesday - and had previously fully charged the batteries. When I turned on the camera this afternoon the rechargeable batteries (all 4 of them) were dead, but with AA form-factor batteries I was able to pull some batteries out of my emergency kit and continue on...I expect my cameras to be able to  be in stand-by for a few days without completely discharging the batteries - particularly brand new batteries....

So off we went - I found this place last week and decided I had to get back here with the dogs and a camera...There's normally a waterfall in the background - which wasn't running today (more on that in a moment)...

This one cracks me up....Teller's Fabio impression as the wind ruffles his bib.

Murphy's turn!

Seconds after this was taken Murph decided he was bored with 

photography and  jumped in the pond. Yeah - EWWWWW!

Overall, I think I'm liking the Kodak - still more to play with - but shooting in the raw makes a HUGE difference - and I'm a sucker for the warm quality of the Kodak images and....Murph came home and had a bath.
