Carduelis Posted August 30, 2012 Share #83 Â Posted August 30, 2012 Is the Scottish word dreich associated with Gaelic? I have heard it mentioned often when I was living in Scotland and was considering a walk in the mountains. Besides all the issues that have been mentioned so far about using a Leica camera, the quality of the light is important and there are not going to be many keepers, particularly of landscape shots when the weather is dreich (dismal, overcast).

farnz Posted August 30, 2012 Share #85 Â Posted August 30, 2012 Not sure but that describes Scotland for 93% of the year <joke mode> ... and the other 7% of the year its raining? </joke mode> To Scottish members I have been fortunate to experience excellent weather during my many pleasant visits to Scotland. Yes it's been smirring a bit as well of course and left me drookit occasionally. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tobey bilek Posted August 30, 2012 Share #86 Â Posted August 30, 2012 Digital is "free" so people keep taking more wishing they get a good one. I try to operate just like I use my view camera, think about the shot , revise and refine, then make the exposure. Â I laugh when people say they make 500 exposures in one day. Maybe they do, but 495 are garbage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
philipus Posted August 30, 2012 Share #87 Â Posted August 30, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) Agree. The perceived simplicity of digital invites mindless shooting (in my experience, I should add). I am so happy I returned to film. My 2-year digital detour did very little for my photo skills. Â Whatever camera one uses, even the one in the mobile phone, it always pays off to think before pulling the trigger. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
colonel Posted August 30, 2012 Share #88  Posted August 30, 2012 I have a D800E. it does kick ass! So does the M9  It is a love or hate it type of camera If you put the time in, then the M9 will reward you more then any other camera  I would say my useful photos on the D800E are 50%, actually used are 30% and presentation quality are 15%  On the M9 my useful photos top 80%, actually used top 50% and presentation quality 40%.  However I take fewer photos with the M9 over the same/equivalent period ....  Why ? because I think harder about the photo, and unlike every AF camera I use, I never get an OOF picture on the M9, ever .....

Yes it's been smirring a bit as well of course and left me drookit occasionally. Â I have mostly experienced good weather in Scotland when I have gone in May or late August/September which is also midge free. I have to admit (despite being an Englishman) that Scotland is in my top three of countries that I have visited for dramatic scenery and I have been fortunate to travel to many countries.
