Castle Visit


The initial plan for was to go to Bath for a daytrip but the weather was mixed so instead we decided to go to Bodiam Castle. It was a very nice trip and the castle offers some great photo opportunities even in mixed weather and with some light rain.

At first I thought of taking the GRD I and GX100 along but the dynamic range of them was a concern so I decided to take the GRD and Panasonic LC1 instead. The LC1 has a higher dynamic range and the slightly longer zoom is certainly very usefull. It is truly a unique camera with fantastic controls, aside from the GRD this is my favorite camera. Panasonic really needs to release a updated version of it with only a different sensor and leave the rest alone.

  1. Very nice Castle!
    Wow, I would like to visit England, and have a trip to take photos of any interesting Castle.

    PS. I just saw a new Ricoh CAMERA, CX1, lunched in Thailand last week. Its design and feature is fantastic. I love its CMOS sensor, and I hope Ricoh will launch new GRDIII this year.

  2. That second photo is just amazing Cristi. The light, the framing and out-of-focus background.

  3. Great series of photographs. I agree fully with Wouter about the second shot, but the same could be said about the framing of all the shots.Well done.

  4. Bhuminan, I have to visit more castles and other interesting places outside of London.

    The CX1 seems to be a very interesting camera, can't wait to get the review sample so I can try it out and see how it performs.

    Thenky Wouter and Yesbuts! The 2nd picture is also my favorite.
