Yes, they have opened a few streets to anyone.

Hi all, Recently spent a few hours in the Ghost Town of Varosha. Really sad to still see no solution to the problems here. L1000471-2-DeNoiseAI by Steve Babb, on Flickr L1000473-2-DeNoiseAI by Steve Babb, on Flickr L1000448-2-DeNoiseAI by Steve Babb, on Flickr

Thanks everyone. I’ll look at what I can move on and look at getting gold of an RX100vi or vii. Appreciated.

Hi all, I appreciate threads like this come up quite often, but I hope you don't mind my version of a theme! I've enjoyed travel and landscape photography for a number of years, but the last 5 or so, I've done less and found myself leaving my gear at home more often than not. Or leaving in my...

Thank you for taking the time to respond. I did take some before the sun rose, I'll have a look back at them, as in all honestly, I discarded them! Thanks!

Hi all, Not been out for a long time. Not the best sunrise, but was nice to be there. A bit of flare, but I quite like it. C+C welcome. Cheers! Steve "Dinosaur Rock" Flamborough by Steve Babb, on Flickr

Thank you. The beach was the 23F2, the others 35,1.4 and the the close up of the castle was the 14mm. The beach is in East Lothian and the castle is Dunstanburgh in Northumberland.

Not posted for a long time. The first few from my new to me XT-30.... 1) 2) 3) 4)

Bought a used XT-30. Looking forward to it!

Thanks guys. Food for thought. Time to sell something and look at the getting an XT-30! Regards, Steve

Hi all, I've had my XT-1 since not long after launch and used it mainly for landscapes were it did a great job. These days, not getting so much time for landscape and shoot more with my Rx1R and M9. Mostly family days out, with dog, portraits etc today. I find the autofocus on all of these...

Thanks all. I think it will be the Sony pair. Same batteries. The XT-1 would be an option, but I think the 18-55 Kit lens would be a bit restrictive at night and with the 23mm/1.4 it is not as compact as the RX1.

Thanks. Sorry, didn't explain slow well. I just manually pre focus the RF in town. The RX1 is hard to use manually as it restarts to infinity after power off and sleep. I like the idea is the Leica but night shots at high ISO wouldn't be great on that our the RX100. That's where the rx shines...

Hi all, I've had a bit of a break from photography, well, most fun things in the last year after going through a bit of a tough divorce. Anyway, for the first time in over 25 years, I am going to go on a short holiday on my own.. I've booked a week in Northern Goa for a week and plan on hiring...

Hi Craig, good point. Yes, there was. Another guy and his son was a few paces left. Ideally, I’d have been left and forward, but right in their way, but they get their first!
