Trekking photography and disappointed in my Melbourne pictures

I was reviewing my photos from Melbourne yesterday, and I’m pretty disappointed in the turnout – a lot of photos are overexposed or unfocused. My camera is really going bonkers! I’m quite frustrated, considering I spent so much time just walking around snapping photos, and one out of every seven is spoilt due to the camera. Argh.

I think I should use another camera for trekking – maybe I may not get a DSLR so soon, at least until I can really afford the photography hobby, I found it quite cumbersome to carry a camera around travelling, so a compact camera should be good. I suppose I can borrow my mum’s camera for my treks, while I save up for a new one.

I talked to my friend regarding the camera I want to get (Canon 350D), and he mentioned that it would be better to get something more durable – the Canon 350D uses a plastic body.

Well then, until the day I have the cash to play with such expensive equipment, I guess it will be just “Point and Shoot” for me! It serves as a motivation to make more money so that I can go trekking in nicer places and with better equipment right?
