Nov 1. Black swan

Cygnus atratus
Official bird emblem of Western Australia.
No, the Canon isn't fixed. This was a test pic after picking it up from Canon.
It took 4 pics then was inoperable again.
After I've just paid $350 to have it fixed :-(

Canon EOS 300D Digital Rebel
1/250s f/4.5 at 90.0mm iso100 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Bummer... How frustrating! We all hope that Cannon repair service gets it right this time!
Karen Leaf02-Nov-2005 05:13
Oh no!
Frustrating, esp when it's capable of taking pics like this! Hope all is resolved soon.

I'm sorry to hear about your continuing camera problems. The swan is very nice, but I'm sure your worried about the camera.
Pepe Zyman02-Nov-2005 03:30
Beautiful image!
Mindy McNaugher02-Nov-2005 02:08
Beautiful image! Such lovely details in those black feathers! How frustrating about your camera! Must be under some sort of warranty!
Mike Moats02-Nov-2005 00:29
Excellent image.

Beautiful shot! I hope they will fix it, this time, for free since you seem to have paid $350 for naught!

Very nice portrait of the swan, almost looks like it's posing.
Time for a 5D.

Oooops!

Great shot. I like Herbs comment about the Canon repair story.
Guest 01-Nov-2005 15:06
Wonderful shot of this swan, but so frustrating news about the camera! I hope they can fix it (and don't charge more !!!)
See what Herbert said... PBase members are big consumers of cameras and lens... ;-)

Nice shot,hope your camera is fixed soon.Tell Canon that the whole world is watching their poor repair performance.

Nice photo of a pretty black swan.
Ohh that's so disappointing. 'Hope they can fix you camera soon without another glitches.
Guest 01-Nov-2005 11:47
Good luck with your camera. I know the feeling. This is a wonderful picture of a swan but that is probably the last thing you care about when your camera is not functioning properly.
Guest 01-Nov-2005 11:11
i'm kinda the sort of guy who bangs it against something and it usually works.

so sorry to hear that. should still be under warranty from the recent repair?
Yvonne01-Nov-2005 11:04
What a superb shot of the swan! So disappointing to find your camera
STILL isn't operable just as spring arrives with so many picture opportunities.

Oh no...did you stamp you feet !!
Guest 01-Nov-2005 09:51
