"Wollondilly Morning"

[Omaroo]

Hi all - my first time back for quite a while. Thought I'd post a quickie from the other morning. Might be a bit crunchy at <200kb, so apologies.

Sony RX1 - 1/2sec @f/22 ISO100 (hand held)

lovely peaceful moody image Chris

[Omaroo]

Thanks David. It was a beautiful misty morning at River Island 4WD Park on Sunday morning. Idyllic, really! :thumbsup:

[multiweb]

Very cool framing. Looks like a painting. :thumbsup:

[Omaroo]

Thanks Marc. Very kind. :)

[Ric]

A lovely image Chris

It looks like a wonderfully peaceful area.

[Omaroo]

Cheers Ric. It's a great spot and it's not far from home.

Welcome back. Nice shot, very moody.
1/2 sec, handheld? I'm missing something somewhere?
Could not have done that with the M8, for sure.

[Omaroo]

Thanks Gary :thumbsup:

No, you certainly could not have done it with the M8. The RX1 is just so good as a travel camera. Stabilisation is really excellent in both stills and video modes.

[pluto]

That is beautiful, I love it! :)

[Larryp]

Lovely photo, Chris-very well composed:thumbsup:

[lacad01]

Very serene looking place, and good steady hands at .5 sec :)

[Omaroo]

Thank you all, Hugh, Laurie and Adam for your wonderful comments. :)

[Octane]

That has come out exceptionally well.

The cool tones, mixed with the green alpine foliage and good composition make for a lovely combination.

I feel like I'm in Canada, rather than NSW.

[Omaroo]

Thank you Humayun. I wish that it were Canada, but alas, no. Leave Sydney, go through Campbelltown and hang a right at Mittagong. Exotic!

[gregbradley]

Love it. What a great photo. I love these Aussie green streams.

Greg.

[gbeal]

Indeed, it must be, I'm still struggling getting my head around the 1/2 second handheld?
Gary.

[Omaroo]

Thanks Greg, that's very nice of you. :)

Gary - no trouble at all - it's even better on the OM-D. Sony and Olympus have both done a lot of development in this area. I've even taken a few two-second hand-held shots in low light on the OM-D and the images are perfectly formed.

Location location location, envious Chris, luv to get out to places like this & have the gutts to face what looks like a rather chilly morning :cold:

[iceman]

Beautiful image, Chris!

[Omaroo]

Thanks Bob :) LOL.. yes, it can get cold. Thankfully, last weekend was still quite warm with the current "autumnal heatwave" I keep hearing about on the radio. It was around 10 degrees that morning - so crisp, but nice :)

[Kunama]

Beautiful photograph Chris.

Looks a bit warmer that what we are getting at the moment.

[rogerg]

Great shot, you've captured the lighting nicely.

[Omaroo]

Thanks so much Mike, Matt and Roger. :)

Matt - what are you getting now in Jindabine? I'm yet to get down to my place outside of Cooma this year, but when I do I'll be taking a woolly jumper, that's for sure. :lol:

[Kunama]

We had -6C the other morning, snowed on the hills all night, enough to ski XC at Charlotte's or downhill at Perisher, they have a T-bar operating already.

[rogerg]

Reading that makes me hungry for a ski trip :) Shame I have a broken ankle. Did enjoy a Thredbo trip last year :)

[Kunama]

That's really not a good enough excuse Roger, I got hit by an out of control beginner skier in 2011, broke 3 ribs, punctured my lung and cracked my ankle and I was back skiing within 5 weeks! (albeit very gingerly !!!)

[rogerg]

Wow, that's quite an impressive list of injuries! I'm glad you're still with us! and I'm glad it wasn't me that ran into you :) (not a beginner but still somewhat out of control now and then :) )

My ankle was only broken Saturday just gone (not skiing, taking astrophoto's!) so give it another week or two ... not a bad break, if there's such a thing :)

[Geoff66]

All of your RX1 images are thick with atmosphere -nature/city/colour/B&W. How you get such diverse feel with the same camera is incredible.

[Kunama]

Just read up on the RX1 for the first time, a very impressive bit of kit that in the right hands obviously gives great results. Now be a dear and post a bigger file!!!

[Omaroo]

Thanks Geoff & Matt :) Yes, the RX1 is an instant classic camera. Between it and the OM-D I have no desire, whatsoever, to own a "full-sized" DSLR any more. There's no need, and in fact they're hindrance to me and my style of shooting. My third camera, and it's also brilliant, is a Sony RX100 which stays permanently in my glovebox.

[rogerg]

The RX1 does look like a very nice camera. I often dream of having a camera like it or the Fuji X-Pro1. Simplicity and elegenace.
