While waiting in the passing loop at Gotherington on my local preserved line (Gloucestershire Warwickshire Steam Railway) for the southbound diesel service to pass I grabbed this shot from a window.  Token exchange has just completed.  Mistyness is due to steam/smoke from our loco, Foremarke Hall.  

No post processing.  f8, 1/125 sec, ISO 200.

That loco is as old as me Graham, but looking in better condition 🙄 where did i go wrong 🙁

I did help with some of the restoration on the 26 (more than 10 years ago Geoff).  It is starting to look a little scruffy again!

Hi David

Yes, it is.  I think it's a wonderful piece of kit.  Like many here, I have other Leica kit to choose from, but I think for travel the VLux is hard to beat.  I wandered around London in the heat last week with my SL and 24-90.  And I was knackered at the end of it.  Now, I'm sure the results might have been better than the VLux (in hands other than mine anyhow), but in my amateur hands I think the VLux would have done as good a job in reality.

And although one could not call the VLux cheap, I'd sooner drop or lose it than I would any of my M kit or the SL!

Regards

John

I keep saying it, but I’m going to have to pick up one of these cameras, the results everyone’s posting make me realise it would be great for a everyday camera and also one I could trust my wife with. ( I would be a nervous wreck if she got her hands on any of my M equipment )

Landscape garden / parkland at Hanbury Hall, last Sunday.  Spent rather a lot of time perusing the Christmas market - came home with some interesting foodstuff (which will be consumed long before December arrives :D ).

Hi Geoff

I'm sure I speak for most, if not all, of the folks here, but it really is a superb 'Jack of all Trades'.  If I'm going on a long haul trip by air, it usually goes with me in preference to my M gear or my SL.

Without sounding snobbish, and with reference to your comment about your wife 😬, it's not so expensive (in Leica terms anyhow) to induce heart failure if it gets broken, lost, or stolen. And there are plenty of good used ones around....

Cheers

John

Lol, I can’t get the photo to post, even though it’s around 283 mb. 
 

Could someone please take a look. 
 

Thanks much. 

283 mbps is a big file. Check you are within the upload limits.

The bald eagles are abundant in my area as they feast on salmon before continuing their migration south for the winter. The young birds lack the pure white head feathers of the adult birds.

Charlyee,

Thought you would like to know, I took these images with the VL 114 set to natural. I'm finding it better than the standard setting for nature photography.

Cheers

Oh thank you, that’s good to know. 😊
