Indeed - if you never took photos when conditions weren't as expected you would never take photos!

I went up to a favourite scenic spot (Surprise View, Derbyshire) last night to try and catch a decent sunset with my X Pro 1 and E-M10 - weather forecast looked good for it. Of course come the hour come the clouds but rather than abandon the trip I thought I would at least see if I could get...

@RB - excellent news. Will update accordingly. I think OPV has managed to achieve what I previously thought impossible by being at least 4 times less usable than SPP!

One of the things that attracted me to MILC's (and in particular the E-M10 due to IBIS) is the amount of cheap legacy glass out there. Sure most of it is not as sharp as modern system specific glass but then a lot of it can be had for next to nothing. I fancied a 35mm film SLR and found one...

Great set -thanks for sharing

Sometimes a photo that I intended to be a colour shot works better in black and white. This sunset is one such shot

A lovely series - am particularly partial to a Bugatti. Stunning. Love the ones of the workbenches and old motorbike also

I wanted to capture a reminder of just how small my little boy still is - you forget when you see them growing up fast that they are still so little. A visit to the Yorkshire Sculpture Park gave me a couple of opportunities to capture this. Both taken with my X Pro 1 and XF 18mm...

@rybolt - those are sensational shots. The planes almost look more silver than if you had shown them in colour. Superb angles as well...

So nearly bought the GM1 as it was almost the perfect second body to back up my X Pro 1 - I wasn't bothered about having 2 bodies for the same system and the compactness of the zooms on m43 was enough to sway me toward that as a solution. The killer for me (and I know on a body that small...

Having never even considered an m43 camera I have fallen for the OM-D series also - in my case the 10. Wonderful system - enjoy the 5. I have bought the 45mm f1.8 and it is a fine lens for the money when you want something a bit longer than the c. 20mm length. I have also got a few legacy...

Now if only companies could wake up to WP8 and then I could use stuff like this!!

Love No.7 - great capture. An absolute expression of a child at play enjoying themselves.

Thank you - a lot of these are shot using Ricoh's high contrast B&W setting with a little further tweaking in Silver Efex. Still developing my style on the urban side of things but enjoying it very much.

I had an enforced trip to Liverpool a few weeks ago and once again the weapon of choice was the GRD IV. God I love this camera - truly a take anywhere device with lovely IQ and sublime handling. As a new street / urban shooter it is ideal as it just gets out of the way and lets me concentrate...
