in my opinion if Ricoh are serious about cameras they would have spent more time and money on Mirrorless and not something that appears to be having diminishing returns, the DSLR camera.

great set, 7, 9 and 10 for me hope i can see a sky like that in devon next week. 7, the patterns plus the inclusion of people, 9 looks like a row of Talons, 10 the Sky

had a later version, lovely bike . number plate not illegal at the time it was produced which i think because of that they are allowed, same as having no seat belts in cars that were produced before the legislation came in to effect, bonnet mascots were another thing that got done away with but still see them on classic cars

as David said it doesn't lessen the fact your image got there, well done Gareth.

well spotted and interpreted. 2 for me , looks like a still from a horror film

some beautiful shots of a place i must visit now

richandfleur, sigma 17-70mm @17mm f5.6- f8 iso 200, on a tripod, focus at infinity, wired remote then its all down to luck on what the storm gives you. so i wait for the lightning to start to get the general direction to point the lens, see where most activity occurs, lock the shutter open and release beefore you over expose, so really as much luck as judgement but having the lens at its widest takes in a lot of sky giving the best hope of catching something, unfortunately my neighbours trees as well. the blue sky thing i got from a guy in the states a long time ago, normally you see a lot of muddy skies but all you need do to get rid of that is use Tungsten White balance.
Was hoping for another like this from 4yrs ago but no such luck. Sigma 10-20mm on gorillapod on the floor just inside back door

i,m ok though our 9yr old JR is my shadow, bless him.

very well spotted and very interesting images, 2 looks quite alien

thing is he is the wifes dog, he puts up with me. he came from the Evesham branch where he was looked after by female personel mostly and i think they 'd had him for a number of months. thanks for comments, shows how subjective our little hobby is
