GX1 Delivers


Out today with 25mm lens for some street work.













Out today with the GX1 + 45-175X lens.

I wanted to capture some of natures beauty and the lens delivered.






Took the 45-175X lens out for a run, I am not so sure about sharpness at maximum focal length but it performs well at shorter focal lengths.










Put my old faithful 14-45 f3.5 - 5.6 on today to shoot some B&W landscapes




Another 3 images with the 45-175X lens







Some from today 22 Sep as Autumn starts and flowers have their final fling.

Nikon D700 does Olympic flame arrival and other images

I attended the arrival of the Olympic flame in Cirencester yesterday, took the D700 + 24-120 f4 lens along and very happy with the results.
Despite being a bit of a beast combo, the quality of image is superb so worth the load.

The arrival of the flame







The support was outstanding with a carnival feel to it all.































An unusual sight, a 1940's Alex Cars coach drives through the market place - Nostalgia.



A quick trip to Bibury today as it was overcast & bright so perfect for photos, I wanted to get a shot of the famous Arlington Row from both ends & the bridge that reminds me of a Constable painting.







This is a poppy in a field that I really liked the contrast against the soft greenery.



A dry day today after the continuous July rain - wanted to capture a few images and get some fresh air.











Cold day at the lakes and in the country - converted to B&W using Silver Efex Pro2
