Good advice. I got a GRii a few months back cheap in an Amazon sale. Love it to bits - wonderful image quality and highly pocketable. But a week or so back it suddenly got a large dust spec - more like a small hair! - showing on the sensor. Bloody annoying, and I've been preparing to try to sort out a repair, hopefully under warranty. But I've looked this morning and it's gone. Goodness knows where . Not sure how I feel about this - I've lost a little faith in the beast - but I'll crack on and hope it doesn't re-occur.

I've heard great things about the MX-1. Horses for courses.

Howdy and welcome!

Welcome Wayne!

I've just discovered the joy of the GR too

Having seen a common lizard out on the moors on this mornings dog walk, I misunderstood your title

Real quality here Bill, and a tremendously varied set. Such a treat you post your work like this

I'll be returning to this thread, no doubt, to absorb with a little more leisure, but immediate reactions are that the last three are really special. 8 is an outstanding abstract, great sense of power. 9 is a beautiful composition with excellent choice of shutter speed to get that sense of wash in the water and terrific processing to get the dark, brooding atmosphere in the rock walls. 10 - love this. Wonderful,deep colour in the sea and fascinating shapes of the land. I did wonder what it would look like with a more panoramic crop, but you'd lose some of the sky then. Wallhangers all.

Great pano, and the clouds really make it.

Gosh... very sorry to hear this Maria. Very very best wishes for your recovery.

All the responses truly reflect how much your artistry, photography and contributions are admired here. Here's to seeing more from you when the times right

Welcome Peter

Top stuff Roger

Great sentiments !

Hugely enjoyed seeing these Bill. Fascinating and varied and nothing like the cliche shots of the main tourist sites taken by folk who cover the southern ring road trip (... ahem... )

Real Interest in all of these, and I'll be dipping in again no doubt . But really love #13 (captures the feeling of space as well as the fascinating black sand plains), #15 (brilliant take on one of the cliche sights- like your Mablethorpe beach/sky shots except with added sea stacks ), and what I assume are waterfall shots (#s 11 and 14... Is the former Seljalandsfoss??).

I absolutely get what you mean about the growing numbers and changes. I went on a FSC expedition there way way back in 1985... then back for a family holiday in 2014. Quite, quite different! And tourist numbers are now rising c.30% a year.

But my, what a place!!

Breathtaking images - terrific to see you getting the exposure your work deserves
