I forgot about this thread again, despite being at the beach for the past three weeks. I've been posting some sunsets and a couple of sunrise shots over in that sunset / clouds thread. It's beautiful but a little boring - you can only shoot so many sunsets, sunrises, seagulls, sand dunes, etc. But I'm here for another two weeks before we get our home back from the renovators... Here are a couple of sunset / sunrise shots already shown elsewhere, followed by a short action sequence. I've been shooting mostly with Nikon DSLR's, mostly the D610, but I'm posting on Serious Compacts anyway...

Our favorite seagull, perched placidly atop a post:

When suddenly, he (or she, not sure how to check), takes flight for reasons and regions unknown...

And dive-bombs the ice-cream truck!

Man, these DSLRs really do track movement like nobody's business.

It's my last evening at the shore after five weeks. Our place will basically be finished by tomorrow afternoon so I'm heading back, excited as hell to see it, but enjoying the last days here too. Tonight I had the Nikon gear all packed up and ready to head home tomorrow, so I just pulled out the RX1. And was reminded all over again just how much I love this little camera and why.

Two at the beach shortly before sunset, one of the sunset over the bay. Walking from beach to bay on this part of the island is less than 10 minutes...

There's something about the quality of the images the RX1 produces which really astounds me. Not sure what it is. But these are quite fabulous, Ray....

My favorite is the first one, with the blueish/greenish tonality, and the bird incongruously flying, right in the middle of the frame.
 
Two pictures taken on a gray, cloudy day at Cape Lookout, on the Oregon coast. Both taken with the LX7....

The second shot focuses more on the wild grasses at the edge of the sand -
Love them both, a bit different from the usual beach shot! (y)

At the "armpit" of the Dakhla Peninsula (Western Sahara), the beach stretches to the horizon at low tide

Back in Morocco proper, my taxi driver was kind enough to take an after-sunset walk on the beach with me

Miguel, I feel that way pretty much every time I see an RX1 image on my computer I want to work on, and then I open it up and start working, and the adjectives start flowing. I shot with a D610 for a while (same sensor as the RX1) and own a Df (a bit worse at low ISO, a bit more than a bit better at high ISO) and there's STILL something about the RX1 files that wow me more. Part of it is the Zeiss lens, which is the best lens I've ever owned. And part of it is probably just how every componenet of that camera was designed to work with all of the others. It's pretty special. Here's one more from the same evening I just processed.

BTW, nice to see my old LX7 being put to good use - particularly like that shot with the grasses in it!
