Interesting experiment, no. 1 for me.

+1 well shot.

No idea, but he does reminds me of Paul Merton, don't think he was into music tho.....

Lovely photos, beautiful colours too.

Thanks for your comments guys.

Steve,
I did PP them in RT and one with more changes for the shadow and reflection on the mud.
When I shoot in B/W (set on a 'U'ser saving), it is in 'Hard Mono'. and get some really nice results that don't require PP'ing.

"How do you feel about what comes out of the GR IV compared with a DSLR?"

I would say it's the same, for both I usually PP most of them as they are deliberately under exposed to avoid blown highlights. Although I think the GR4 is more forgiving in correcting highlights.
Wish I didn't have fat sausage fingers though! I keep upsetting the settings e.g. when moving the rear thumb dial (for aperture in my preference setting) , left and right but if it's pressed ever so slightly it acts as a function button (which you can change in Menu) and remembering what I set it to doesn't help.

More than the fallen tree;
My wife wandered off when I had my back turned taking a snap (no longer than a couple of mins), went missing for an hour, a member of the public found her just before I called the Police. Maybe too much info.

Here's a few snaps from a walk to the local Park;

Very nice indeed, 2nd 3rd and others too hard to choose.

Brilliant, made me smile too.
