David Monkhouse Posted June 24, 2007 Share #1 Posted June 24, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Just returned from a trial run (prior to 14 days walking in the Swiss Alps) with the M8, D-Lux 3 and Epson P3000 viewer/storage device. Lessons learnt being, have the M8 numbering set to continuous (repeating the same numbering sequence day after day makes life a pain on return to the home computer), delete (carefull now) the rubbish after each downloading from the SD card (even using a 4inch screen) and before checking on the en-suite facilities, ask if the room has working power points! 600plus became 400 on file and the best are on the gallery as "seven days........ Conscience, "if that's the best you can do with all that expensive kit, I should go back to the Brownie 127" I have to say that the above kit plus the 35mm Summicron and 90mm Elmarit covered most eventualities. The D-Lux 3 is excellent in macro mode and the M8 perfect for everything/most else. Notwithstanding the above, the shutter delay on the D-Lux 3 caused me serious grief on the boat shots, should have used the M8 and the 90mm but it's what you have in your hand at the precise moment.

MrEd Posted June 24, 2007 Share #2 Posted June 24, 2007 The boat shot is my favorite, really nice colors and sharpness. Thanks for sharing. Ed. . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinop Posted June 24, 2007 Share #3 Posted June 24, 2007 Like the boat and flower shots. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Monkhouse Posted June 26, 2007 Author Share #4 Posted June 26, 2007 Thanks for the comments, I agree the red sails and green water did the trick. There was another boat with white sails and it was deleated without much thought. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
elansprint72 Posted June 26, 2007 Share #5 Posted June 26, 2007 Anyway, what do you think? He needs to move his crew outboard a bit, himself inboard slightly and ease the main-sheet, just a touch. As for the photos.... good set, not sure about the crab one, the steamer has brilliant quality, the garden ones are great but roses leave me cold. Well, you did ask.

stuny Posted June 26, 2007 Share #6 Posted June 26, 2007 David - A very nice series. I too like the sloop-rigged boat best for its action, color (especially the sails and hull) and light. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
