Plenty of flowing water hereabouts. These are from yesterday since we've had low, grey cloud with a hint of drizzle here today. These shots could perhaps have done with one stop smaller aperture (don't know if or when diffraction kicks in with the 30mm lens) to nail the depth of field, I'm running out of focus a bit in the foreground (or focus a bit closer to the foreground, have just hopefully learned how to reposition the focus square). Also whilst I haven't had to apply any sharpening to the large tiffs made for printing, I think that some sharpening (applied in my case in Photo Ninja) is beneficial before downsizing and saving as a jpeg for the web. Hopefully these do justice to the sharpness evident in the raw files.

All with DP2M

The texture and detail in these photographs is just beautiful. Wow. I can see why some people label these cameras as a dream for landscape photography.

The yacht Saunterer, built in 1900 and owned for a time early in its life by Captain Lawrence Oates, remembered today as the gentleman who, suffering from severely frostbitten feet, walked out into a blizzard on the Ross Ice Shelf, March 1912 in the hope that his sacrifice would help his three remaining companions make better progress. Those men were Robert Falcon Scott, Edward Wilson and Henry Bowers, Edgar Evans having died earlier at the foot of the Beardmore Glacier. All were of course returning from their ill fated Polar expedition to the South Pole.
Saunterer remains much as she was built 113 years ago.

Hallsands beach, stripped of its overlying shingle

Start Bay is a closed system where the shingle is not replenished from outside the area, however the shingle can shift north to south (up to 7 miles) and vice versa, or move offshore depending on winds and waves. Currently it has moved north leaving Hallsands and other beaches at the south end of the bay devoid of up to 6 feet depth of shingle, exposing the underlying rocks

DP2M

Coming to the DP2M from the tribulations of an Nex 5N, apart from the attributes which everyone generally acknowledges (sharpness, detail, texture, subtle colours tones, micro-contrast) there is one quality which, to me, is a greater relief: white balance accuracy.
