Sony RX100 - getting started
- Thread starter Terry
- Start date
Thanks Tim, and others for some 'likes'.
No not really thinking about the Mk3; wouldn't make that much difference to me, and I don't need an articulating screen for I need to keep in trim by crouching down with bended knee occasionally
I am however waiting to see what the new Panasonic LX100 is like when it supposedly comes out later in the month.
Here is some well known graffiti in Bristol.
Cheers,
Gandolfi.

:ROTFL: How familiar I am with this scenario!I don't need an articulating screen for I need to keep in trim by crouching down with bended knee occasionally
In making that point, you've almost stopped me from considering the Mk3! However, the EVF is still tempting...I haven't seen much information on the LX100. In theory it should be good... but somehow the idea hasn't 'grabbed' me yet.
Maybe all will become clear when the specs are released. That might have been handy - except that we don't get a newspaper...I don't suppose that - in the manner of so many multi-function devices these days - they thought to include some kind of image-making capability as well...?
Great little cameras, whichever version. Nice pic.
Brings to mind that scene in Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance when Phaedrus asks his students to write a 500 word essay on the US of A. One student can't get started so is told to narrow it down to her home town (Bozeman). She still can't get started and is told to narrow it down to the street outside, and when she still can think of nothing to write the increasingly frustrated Professor tells her to concentrate on the building opposite, Bozeman's Opera House. "Start with the upper left-hand brick" she is told.
Whenever my tiny brain is stuck on something I think of this.
This isn't by any chance a pic of Bozeman's Opera House, is it?

Ha, I never gave it a thought. I was bouncing around and had been diverted for road work as I came to see the back of this building. I was a bit outside of the arts area amongst some old hotels....I never gave it a second thought, it just looked cool. You've peaked my curiosity though, and from the layout and level access points, I plan on taking a closer look.... Stay tuned.:watch:
I'm still gonna bet that it isn't the Bozeman Opera House though��

db,
I think I may have been confusing the issue.
The Bozeman I am talking about (the one that is mentioned in the book) is in Montana!!
I have just googled 'bozeman opera house' and was led to a site (whatwasthere.com) featuring old photos of Bozeman (taken on sheet film by the look of it).
One of these is indeed a pic of the side of the opera house and amazingly is not entirely dissimilar to your pic of downtown Detroit. It's built with many bricks ( the top left hand brick is particularly elegant) and has a similar external structure to your pic (what are they? Fire escapes I presume) but has more windows than your pic.
Apparently Bozeman Opera House was knocked down in the mid-sixties.
The pic to which I refer has some lovely old American cars featured, the long late fifties models from an age when bigger was better!!
So that's all I have to say on the matter, would still like to know what your building is if you ever find out.
Cheers for now,
Gandolfi.
