G1X - Just a few from the Cairngorms NP in Scotland

I visited Scotland with my kids this summer and we sampled more than a few national parks and castles.  I took only my G1X and left the DSLR at home.  Here's three from the Cairngorms Range -  a stark, bleak, moorland range in Eastern Scotland.  We drove through them dodging drab weather and very variable light.

I shot 'L' sized jpegs and left the camera with DR200 operating most of the time.  They were about 4mb images, but I downsized them on export. They're straight OOC (no PP at all).  CC welcome.

1.  A Cairngorm Valley - 38mm, ISO 400, 1/500, f5.6.  Distant moorland landscapes don't offer much detail - but the camera has held the detail of the grasses, heather and other plants quite well.  I'm quite happy with the G1X lens.

2.  Corgarff Castle - 15mm, ISO 400, 1/1250, f5.6.



3.  Castle Courtyard - 15mm, ISO 1250, 1/1600, f16.  I think I probably increased the ISO for an interior shot and inadvertently left it up at 1250 - I would never have chosen that ISO in such a bright setting.  In any case, f16 has still delivered a reasonable result.  (I've always wanted to do some photography amongst those famous white buildings in Santorini in Greece.....  I didn't expect the same challenge in Scotland!:-)
