Visit to Scotney Castle

Another day out in Kent, this time with the LC1. It did as usual an excellent job and I really enjoy using it, hopefully Panasonic will release a LC2 at some point with only a newer sensor and some minor tweaks on the camera.

Hever Castle and Gardens

The weather was great so I decided to go for a daytrip somewhere ad see a caste. The choice fell on Hever Castle and after last week I got yet another display of Jousting.
Took the same cameras like last week but the GRD III stayed in my pocket and the LC1 got used more today, it has been neglected somewhat recently and it needed a workout.

Tonbridge Castle

While visiting friends I went to take a few pictures of the castle. The text mode works very well and gives a look like it has been pencil drawn.

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.
