I really like the colours on these too. There's something about film that digital just can't replicate....not without a lot of photoshop trickery anyway.

The last one is my favourite.

Lovely looking house, have you found something in Brighton that matches up to it?

Yes, Doc, finally succumbed!

Thanks all for the comments! Since posting these I've discovered that the darker bit in the middle of the Bangkok image is nicknamed "The Green lungs of Bangkok".

Thanks, Bjorn! I'd be a bit stupid not take advantage of the job, and it's what got me back into photography in the first place.

I was initially reluctant to buy the GR, due to the fixed lens, but I'm liking it a lot. It's a very capable camera, and I love the small size.

I like the simplicity and clean lines of that first shot. The second one,s nice too, but I wish I could see more of that dome.

The wonky verticals on those arches look totally wrong. The one of the boats i find the horizon is in a bit of an awkward position, especially as those bushes don't add anything to the shot imo. The two of the river and the last shot would look better if you could get a bit more detail from the shadows, though the K7 is not the greatest camera for doing that.

Thanks Greg. SR would be nice, I nearly didn't get the GR due to the lack of it. However, being 28mm it's not too critical. The first shot was 1/40th sec, the second shot 1/50th.

I bought a GR recently, mainly to have a highly portable camera with a good sensor, and partly in the hopes that it would be a good camera for an ongoing project, photographing cities from the air at night. With the K5 I found I was mostly shooting at 24mm for this, so the fixed 28mm lens is a good focal length, though a bit wider than f2.8 would have been nice. Nevertheless, I'm very pleased with the results, which are better than I was getting from the K5. The infinity focus feature works really well.

Both images are processed in DXO Optics Pro 9, which continues to impress me; you can actually see the image improve in front of your eyes as it applies the custom profile, and the Prime noise reduction is pretty amazing. Both images shot at 3200 ISO, f2.8. The full-size versions can be seen on my Flickr.

I really like the mono one. I've not come across this before, looks a good way to set yourself alight!

I've just bought a GR, first impressions are that it's a great little camera, though I've not shot much beyond things in my hotel room so far.

I've noticed that when shooting RAW, you can't zoom into the image on the rear screen as much as when you shoot Jpeg, and the preview of RAW shots is also very low res. If you convert them in-camera you can then zoom in far more and see the files in more detail. Is it normal to have such low-res previews of RAW files, and is there any way I can change that in the camera?

I'm looking for a solution to the same problem, though I also want to be able to carry a tripod on the bike without having it on my back. The panniers I have looked at that will fit my bike (Harley Sportster) don't seem ideal for camera gear. I'll probably get a rear luggage rack, not ideal as my camera bag can be quite heavy. The tripod I haven't worked out yet.
