Just going through HDD's full of images Don. There's a lot! Still in UK, back to the office next week after four weeks off-post op.

Yes, at times I miss the place but to be fair I also miss Russia, Oman and Sweden for scenery.

Taken from a boat ramp looking North to Rockingham Bay.

First shot shows the archway that you used in another post and it looks well dark in this image. The pedestrian is adding more footsteps in the snow towards the arch. Good contrast and detail.

The second shot is somewhat different. The building at the rear has a drop down over it! The pedestrian adds scale to the monument.

Possibly needed less DOF to isolate the front end?

A quick play for comparison.




A great location by the way.

Very good subject isolation here with careful framing and use of mono. Exposure is well controlled.

Good work.

Hang on, do logic and common sense have a place in today's society?

WRT to RICOH-PENTAX and shows, along with new products, the whole experience is only going to get better.

Always better to use a first post on a forum to introduce oneself, only my opinion.

Indeed.

Also: Spring!

Equinox 2018 will be at 16:15 on Tuesday, 20 March.

All times are in United Kingdom Time.

Alternatively, a light application of petroleum grease (Vaseline) on the battery cover threads works really well or go full on and use a drop of ACF-50.

Water or weather? The only accepted, graded rating for water resistance is the IP (ingress protection) code. I've not seen any DSLR/SLR yet that has an IP rating. You can buy the "tough" type or underwater models which are effectively underwater compact cameras and commonly carry an IPX8 rating for water and IP6X for dust thus read as IP68.

I've had A lenses suffer from water ingress whilst shooting in Scotland in constant drizzle and were used on an LX. The camera was fine.
