Napier yesterday - the pinboard wall on the outside of MTG. Visitors from the UK and Wairarapa, so a mini walk around.

G9 with the Lumix 14-140 f3.5-5.6, as it's the only m4/3 lens I own

I would like to post a photo but I am going thru a roll of Ektachrome. Have taken 5 frames so far. Once the house is built I would like to finish it.

Haumoana today: daily walk with the dog, and opportunity to learn the G9.

To the Panasonic G9 users - for battery life do you turn off after each shot or rely on bringing camera life to life with half press of shutter, or is that not a feature on this camera. Doing some reading, but haven't found out yet.
Thanks

I mostly just leave mine turned on. I’ll usually only turn it off if I’m finished using it for a while, or putting it away in the bag, and I have never run out, but I tend to only shoot for a couple of hours at a time.

The deal I got from Auckland camera included 2 extra batteries “free” so I always have a spare in the bag, but so far I haven’t needed it. One of the extra batteries is still in the packaging and has never been used.

A few more from Sunday morning:

well my home studio should be done this week …….then its getting the lights which are not cheap …...going godox as all my other stuff is

Thanks. I've never fully used a battery in one bout of photos, as usually I'm only shooting an hour or so. I have a spare battery and try to always have a back up when I go out.

Hello all

Long time no post..... good to see some activity in this thread.

Haven't been doing much photography, I did have an shortened trip to the South Island over Christmas, got to two days (of a planned 13 days) in the south after a two day wander down to Wellington and then cracked the head in the van.....

A couple of images....

Breakfast up the Wairau Valley a couple of days before she got all hot..... bugger.

Ace. Love that.

Sorry about the your split head, xspenive trip, sad for you.

Thanks Chris. Expensive for the time I suppose and sad not getting to see the rest of the family. Caught up with one brother in Picton but missed out on the other 6 brothers and sisters and my father as well. Always next time.....
