Morning Stroll

[Chris Dodkin]

Dropped the Land Rover at the dealers for a service first thing this morning, then walked back home as the sun came up.

Took the X100 along for the walk - it's so nice to have a small high quality camera that can always be with you.

X100 - Early morning sun on palm fronds at the mall

X100 - Parking-lot tree

X100 - Also out for a morning stroll

Love the shadow on the second. Liked them all, of course, but that one makes it for me.

I second that!

 

[Kev Pugh]

agreed although of Course I only have the baby of the bunch...

Nice shots, and I wouldn't expect anything less from you sir...

 

[Pete Askew]

This walking business really is producing some gems Chris. Love that shadow.

 

[Dan Cattermole]

Whoa!!! Boooom!!!! how you like that?!?!
Second one with the shadows is VERY good chris!
I still think you should send me your x100 as you've got the pro now.... I mean, Wadya need 2 for Shmuck!?!
Brilliant chris!

 

[Pete Askew]

You'd only fall over while trying walk and take a picture at the same time and break it! I'd stick with something more 'disposable' Dan.

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Thanks chaps - Who knew that walking gave you more shooting ops that driving around in a car!

The tree in the parking lot just cried out for a B&W - I tried the DR bracketing on the X100, but ended up using the RAW and doing my own PP, and liking that better.

The snail was tough for the AF to keep up with, but the X100 came through!

Dan - you're on the list if I ever decide to give, er sell the X100

Here's one more from the walk back to the car dealership - loved the colors on this one

X100 - American Fence

Pete, thoughout the first few mile of my bike ride, I was debating whether I should get my iphone out and get some 'motion/action' videos on the go with the 2 marathon runners I was with......... now that would of been interesting!! I see what you mean there.

Would have made for some spectacular footage and some great sound effects. You could have followed it up with some time-lapse of the bruises coming out!!

 

[Kev Pugh]

He'd have bust the iphone as well as the gravel....
