Since getting a Ricoh GR the biggest surprise is that I have hardly used the K5 since getting it. The GR is so portable, and works great with a Gorillapod. I also seem to be taking most of my pictures at night. Also, I'm not seeing much except cities at the moment, and all the fantastic shots of nature I have seen on here recently are making me miss the wild outdoors dreadfully. I'm just making do with the subjects available.

The first 4 shots are from Doha.

West Bay

Doha Tower

Museum of Islamic Art

West Bay from the Corniche

Dubai

Kuwait City

Al Jubail

Kolkatta

The mobile studio

There you go again, up in the sky at night, amazing! The cockpit image is brilliant. You clearly have some friends in high places Did they slide their seats back a few notches - hope they could still reach the pedals!

The buildings are fabulous, like something from a sci-fi film, and all beautifully shot. No 2 perhaps needs a longer exposure?

Who cares about missing the nature shots when you're out there getting all this ????

I was actually doing a check on the two guys flying, so was sitting in the jumpseat.
