I don't know if Alaska is cold at this time of year, but I did notice when I used a K7, it became unbearably cold on crisp winter days... even through gloves the metal body sucked the heat from my hands. And your tongue would stick to it...

I am sure Algi genuinely believes he is making valid points. That is the troubling thing.

I'm 'well jell'. IQ from this camera looks pretty good to me; I think I'd pick it over the GR for street shooting, because of the zoom and the flexible screen. IQ won't be as good as the GR but a step up from most compacts, for sure! Looking forward to your thoughts and piccies.

I think you are right to try and figure it out manually though. Good skill to learn

I wouldn't bother with the UV filter ;P

Personally I don't bother with the hood either, but I did get a JJC copy of the RH-RC 49 hood, and also have a collapsible rubber hood to use... it's just they add a lot of bulk to the lens. I definitely should be using a hood though, and so should you!

No you have the auto modes on the flash, which use a light sensor on the flash itself to control the light output.

Ya, just mentioned it in case you wanted to practice with your DLSR first ;P

Looks like it's safe at 11V.

Do you have a DSLR? I would be tempted to experiment on digital to get a feel for the right sort of exposure settings at various ISOs. Make sure the flash is safe to use voltage wise though.

#2 (love the dark tones and that dark blood red colour, really lovely!) and #4 (the rain blobs add to the mood IMHO). Nice work, Alan! It shows how unpromising weather, and fairly unpromising locations, can give up gems (to the right photogapher).
