Crabby

With the sun shinning and my new camera in hand it was the perfect day to go to the beach. As we headed down to the waters edge, I was was some difficulty with the camera. The shutter seems to be on manual exposure. So instead of clicking the shutter button once, I needed to click it twice. Annoying to say the least.

With the tide out, many rocks with barnacles were exposed. I switched my camera into a basic mode and began clicking away, this time without problems. J pushed over a few of the rocks and loads of crabs scuttled around. Some hurried to another dark place while a few stood their ground.

Even with a slight nudge this reddish-brown guy wasn't going to move.

The camera (when switch into any of the manual modes) continued to cause me shutter problems. And as a result turned me a bit crabby. I switched off the camera, played a bit more on the beach and tried to suck in as much sunlight as possible.
