Modern digital cameras render a much better image than the poor film-loaded devices of my youth. Unless you had an SLR and knew how to use it, there was no guarantee that you would get a clear representation of the subject. I can offer yesterday's shot as an example, for clearly someone was deliberately taking shots of the flying fox but the result could not be vouched for in every case.

On Friday I used an old iPhone to quickly snap this shot of Tom at his annual Athletics Carnival at Tom Hunter Reserve, Faulconbridge. You can quibble with the composition if you like, but the clarity is very good.
