"Wollondilly Morning"

[Omaroo (Chris Malikoff)]

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)

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

Very cool framing. Looks like a painting.

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.

Thanks Gary

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.

That is beautiful, I love it!

[Larryp (Laurie)]

Lovely photo, Chris-very well composed

[lacad01 (Adam)]

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

[Omaroo (Chris Malikoff)]

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

[Octane (Humayun)]

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.

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

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

Greg.

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

[Omaroo (Chris Malikoff)]

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

[iceman (Mike)]

Beautiful image, Chris!
