The untamed sea always makes wonderful photographs, changing at every stage. 2 and 5 for me, I can very nearly taste the salt.

Really enjoyed viewing all your pics, especially as most of them seem to come from my neck of the woods.

Thank you.

Your 'snaps', taken on the KP were lovely. Thank you.

Is it the QE or the POW? Could not quite make out the Pennant Number. I know that big warships get very tetchy when at anchor and small vessels approach, for obvious reasons!

But, keep on going LennyBloke , my GR111 shots are not nearly as good as yours, I love the camera and can learn from you. Thanks.

Super set of photographs. I have the GR111 and the big advantage with this camera is you can easily put it in your pocket (or rucksack) and take it anywhere with you. It's definitely the person, but you do need the camera in the first place!!

Yes, the Ricoh is an ideal camera for keeping a record as you say. It becomes a photographic diary.

I thoroughly enjoyed your GR111 photographs, and lovely sunny weather to boot!

Lovely Photographs Phil. Well worth getting up early. You can always sit down later on in the day. I knew Portland well whilst serving in the Royal Navy

Thank you very much, John X Lubbyman, and PR Yorkshire for your help and advice. I can report a happy ending. I contacted Ricoh and informed them of the camera malfunction. Ricoh confirmed that the GR111 does carry a two year warranty in the UK as stipulated on their web site, provided the purchase was made through an authorized bona fide photographic distribution channel. The knowledge of this was not given to me by the company I purchased the camera from. Although helpful and trying to assist, they were definitely not aware of the Ricoh UK warranty, which has surprised me a little.

Ricoh gave me the address of the official UK Pentax/Ricoh repair and service company, a John Pye of Uttoxeter, and they made good the fault and the camera was posted back to me within a couple of days. All I may add under the two year warranty.

So pleased, well done Ricoh and well done Pentax User.

Thank you.
