Excellent images Geoff, love the light and drama. I think the long exposure ones are less interesting compared with the others but then you were there to see the options and I wasn’t! It looks like you were part of a small group, was that an organised tour you booked or just a group of friends?
I was also intrigued by the DA* 60-250 lens on the K1, the results look fantastic but was there any vignetting or unsharp edges or did you just go crop mode? I am wondering how it would compare with the new FA 70-210.
Regards your question about the 60-250 on the K-1 Take a look at this, top row of images illustrate the vignette that's apparent using the lens on the K1

I found it a little too much for my personal tastes and was having to crop images aggressively so, I decided to do the baffle mod and I'm more than pleased with the results (bottom row). As for the 70-210 if I was looking for a 70/200 lens right now, I think the additional weather sealing and comparable image quality the new lens delivers, the 70-210 would be my choice also you dont wouldnt have to dick around with the internals of the lens.
Regards
Geoff

Will watch the VLOG later on but just to say with those 3 images - what great light! All 3 I think are belters but for me the star of the show is the last image! Nicely done

Not had a chance to watch the Video yet, but this small selection of photos is superb - "the crash" illustrates the combined beauty and power of the sea, and would look lovely on the wall of a gallery or a home

Cracking photos and a very interesting video. Wonderful location Elgol, and the road to it.
Thank you for posting and sharing.
Somewhere under these waves off Elgol lies my great grandfather's schooner.

Here are a few images taken from a recent trip to the Isle of Skye (Feb 2020) on Day 1 of a 4 day adventure on the Island as storm Dennis whipped in from the Atlantic. I have also included the video I took and I hope you can spare 10 mins of your time to enjoy that (grab a cuppa).. https://youtu.be/Hd0wX9IGPvM

Yes, much better now the horizons level, its one of my pet hates unfortunately and I can spot the smallest of slopes
Understand re the converging verticals, I've not shot here before so wouldn't have known its has a storm damage list !!
