Very nice Fujigraph Sir, unusual and very effective.

The colour version definitely holds interest more and has more pop to it. I've been using the X-T2 around the house this morning too, admittedly also shooting in B&W! [emoji3]

Thanks Dave, good of you to say so.Lovely snowy shot Stephen, well taken.
It’s Settle, North Yorkshire. Thanks for your kind comment.A beauty with the snow flakes.
Which town, my sister lived in Duke Street, Dorchester.

Thanks Trevor. This is something which would not have the dynamic appeal with a shorter lens.Love it. The compression from use of the long lens really helps here.

Thanks Andrew. Though there’s been plenty snow up the dales, this is the first real flurry we’ve had this season down at this level. It didn’t last long. It’s raining now and the white stuff is long gone... sometimes I think Settle is twinned with Raincloud!And we've had nothing but rain, rain and yet more rain here on the South Coast - nice photo BTW

Thanks Graham. Much obliged.Very nice Stephen
Dave70D, that's a great endorsement for the 'kit' lens!
Holy Moly this is amazing....!!!! Great depth with this capture, superb photpgraphy.I visited the new King's College Business School today in Bush House on the Strand. Lovely views from their cafe terrace but I didn't time the visit well so the light wasn't as good as it could be at sunset:

(excuse the purple fringing - I only noticed it once posted on Flickr)
And while I was nearby I popped into the LSE library for a classic view:

Thanks Dave.That is a beautiful shot Mary, very well taken and the white snow is white too.
Thanks so muchVery nice Fujigraph Ma'am, nicely composed with good colour, and just about held some detail in the snow and kept it white which is not always easy.

I believe that the dr is slighty worse on L than iso 200 because the base is 200 so for normal use you are better off leaving it on 200.Any of you guys use the L setting iso on the XT2 or is it better to leave it on iso 200?

But i do use the L setting if i need a particular shutter speed/aperture. For me the most common usage if i want a slighty longer shutter speed for moving water etc.
For some unfathomable reason, over 8000 fools, sorry photographers, have viewd this photo on Flickr since yesterday. Wish I knew what the secret was!Today it snowed. The view from our doorway. X-T2 and 50-230mm.

Using the XT2 in anger, as in for a paid job. The French boat builder ferried me out to the Isle d'Oloron and wined and dinned me for 4 days while I shot the factory processes, interiors and action shots on a couple of boats for them. These were taken from a small boat that had waves coming over the side, soaking me. Trying to stand and shoot while running with the target boat in those waters was untenable and I nearly went overboard, so we fell back on the method of just keeping our boat head to sea, in the breaking overfalls where the tide builds over the bar and getting the target boat to run up for the shot. I still had to stand, but it is easier when the boat is only riding the waves rather than jumping off them!! It gave me a chance to play with the 50-140.

A nice balance between light and dark.I'm doing a second pass through my Eigg images now that some time has passed, to look for shots that I missed the first time around, or where the processing could be better with hindsight.
This is one of the latter. I processed it as colour the first time but there wasn't a great deal of it. In mono it took some careful attention to get the right compromise between atmosphere and detail, but I'm fairly happy with this version.

Cheers Stephen, funny to be having this conversation in two places at once . I do tend to like my landscapes dark, the trick here was not to overdo it and render the foreground unintelligible!A nice balance between light and dark.
Technically it's possible to get an adaptor that will change the aperture for G lenses. The catch is that it doesn't do it in single f stops, and you have to work out what aperture you have set by the change in shutter speed. I've done it successfully but I can't really recommend it.
