Nice shots. You don't see many Snipes these days.
May I enquire? Are these SOOC jpegs or processed how? Happy new year btw.

Be careful if you're out to get a shot of that superb view. Another bit of the cliff fell onto the beach yesterday. It happens quite often on that stretch of the coast. Not a place to hang around near the base of the cliff or to walk near the edge on top. And if you hear a rumble - run away from it!!

^^^^^ i can tell
Right.... for me.... a camera is a camera. Irrespective of what it is attached to. Doesn't matter if its a phone, a compact, a bridge, a box with a hole innit, a DSLR, mirrorless, full format, a fecking go pro!!!
They all do the same thing.... capture a moment in time.
But the crucial part is not the tool.... it's the person wielding that tool. You can have all the gear but if you do not have that creative spark.... the so called eye for it. Then the outcome will be what it is....

Those who only have a mobile phone will accept the image quality, often without realising how fantastic the same image could have been with a half-decent lens. As we all know, image quality ultimately comes down to the quality of the glass.
Having formerly owned a Pentax MX 35mm, as well as several Canon digital SLR bodies and numerous red-ring lenses, I’ve returned to Pentax with a K-3 Mark III for various reasons.
The idea of this thread is to generate conversation about how technology and miniature photography have progressed so dramatically. The major camera manufacturers won’t enter that market unless they can make mobile phones taboo and be guaranteed the ability to take over from Apple and Samsung—who themselves once displaced Nokia, Motorola, and BlackBerry.

When purchased it was advertised was only 1000 activations. After a further 300’ish additional activations the sensor shutter failed.
WEX have been brilliant with helping to sort the issue a replacement is on its way. Hopefully, this issue isn’t a common problem.
