Stray Snaps

The chief advantage of having a digital camera is your liberty to keep clicking. I remember my dad thinking twice before he took a snap with his Yashica, which by the way is still there but rarely used. Firstly, there was a chance that he might run out of reel. Secondly, what if it wasn't that good a take! He had to make sure that everyone in the group had a fair share of the snaps and at the same time cover the main attractions of the place we were visiting. And no outside pics in the dark. Guess why! Because the flash was an independent entity, which needed to be fixed to the camera and required a plug point to charge it before each flash. Well, those days are gone with the digital version coming in. With a high-capacity memory card and good batteries, it's a breeze taking photos. Here are some samples of mindless clicking. These are the ones that I can post on the blog and still expect you to go through it. There was actually a lot of crap, discarded. But who cares! That's the fun of a digital camera.
