Walking to the Swan

CX1, f5.2, 1/200, ISO 80, JPG, 200mm

Went for a daytrip to Rye today. The weather was great although the light conditions were quite challenging at times for a camera.
I decided to only take the CX1 with me and see how it performs as a travel camera. It performed very well and the DR mode was really usefull in certain situations. The camera is very fast to zoom and especially focus and the screen is easy to see even in very bright light.

I took this picture in color but converted it to b&w and added some noise to it. This makes it appear sharper and more crisp, something that pictures from the CX1 don't always do due to the at times too strong noise reduction.

Cobblestones

GRD, f6.3, 1/640, ISO 400, JPG b&w

Today, I've been to Düsseldorf to see a photo exhibition from Michel Comte. it was very interesting and especially his documentary pictures are great.
It was also funny to see him using a GRD II with 40mm lens in one of the video clips from his interviews.
Before and after, I took a few pictures around Düsseldorf, I did use the GRD I and ISO 400 only, for some reason this is what works best for me.
This was again a picture I planned after seeing the cobblestones but I needed something else to draw attention to. I quite like the picture, I cropped it to 1:1 format as it works better for me.
