Hi everyone!
Back in November last year - I can't actually believe it was that long ago! - I finally stopped lurking around these forums and signed up to ask a few questions about the Ricoh GRD/IIs and got some great advice which steered me nicely towards a then-brand-new GRD which fate had placed on eBay for me!
However, looking at some photos of the Lake District in one of the G1 threads reminded me that I hadn't shared any of the shots that came from last year's purchase so I thought it was time to rectify that, sort of re-introduce myself and also say thanks again for all the advice as I love shooting B&W with my GRD!
Anyway, here goes...
Ashness Bridge (An almost obligatory photo op when you go to the Lake District!)
Coniston Water I
A (much) bigger version here...
Coniston Water II
A (much) bigger version here...
A "Frightening" E.E. Lightning, RAF Cosford:
A Boeing 747 engine, RAF Cosford:
I have to say I'm not usually a fan of stitching panoramas together, but I wanted to try to grasp the bleakness and the scale of Coniston Water, which was the site of Donald Campbell's fateful water speed record. Perhaps I should've used it as an excuse to buy the 21mm converter instead!?
