R series in your hometown

LG, I'm glad the sun finally shone for you, I love the rainbow in the fountain.

Brian,The colours of the bricks in the custom house shot really stand out.

Tom, I'm afraid I can't see the pic in your last post, I'd be interested to see the comparison between the R4 & the GRD.

Guy, The frozen water droplets in your last shot are lovely.
It's great to see peoples hometowns.

It's pretty grey and miserable here at the moment, but I have a gallery I uploaded a month ago at http://happytraveller.smugmug.com click "I went for a walk today..." for some moments of the day.

Thanks I shall try

I love these shots, especially the last one. It looks like brisbane has the same juxtaposition of building styles that we have (only we don't have as many skyskrapers) the old and the new.
Great shots.

Great pics everyone. I envy Guy and Tom the harbor and the ocean, The only ocean here is of corn.

Happy, great pics, I love the one of the building in building and how lucky you are to live in a place with such history and beautiful buildings.

I hope that this thread will do for everyone what it did for me. Made me get out to the places I don't normally go to see it again. It was a great day.

Here is my only moving water, it is the Missouri river and it runs from the top of the US to the gulf (the bottom)



not much to look at, but it is where we boat.

I usually shoot on auto iso, so I wasn't too worried. I was just trying to find a way to prevent the sky blowouts!

Thanks Rui, It is Omaha, Nebraska and it smack in the middle of the US. The US is so large, that the state I live in takes 8 hours to drive across and in 16 you only make it across 16.

What a great place you are in. It looks like you still have a lot of your original architecture intact.

I have never been to Portugal, but it sounds like your seasons are the same as here. Going into fall right now?

This thread is making me want to go and get a map so I can see where all of you live in reference to one another.
Please keep posting pics!

Guy, are these boats that a person can go out on? What a great day to be able to walk in such a lovely place and take pics of boats.
LG

3 of my grandparents were born in Omaha (apripo of nothing).

I'm impressed by your pictures of Omaha, Brisbane, Almada, Sydney, Amsterdam-Hilversum, Coffs harbour - your pictures makes me want to visit all those places!

I've uploaded som pictures from Bergen (in Norway) earlier here, but if you aren't bored with the city (the wettest in Europe, btw) already, you can scroll down to see some more...

Bergen overview from Mount Damsgård



View from the bridge (on the left in the previous pic), a boat returning at sunset



Bergen evening, post processed by jpp (this pic is now an international collaboration!).



Central square shot in the evening at eleven o'clock in july (and yes, I hate that cable...)



Another one of the Central square, from a street on the opposite side



Not all streets in Bergen are made for cars...



This is Bryggen with some really old buildings at the waterfront

Asbjørn

No, at least I am not bored with Norway pictures.
I really like the countries in Scandinavia.

Your pictures show very lovely places. 1, 2, 3 and 5 I like the most. Very nice pictures.

I like the old buildings in the last two, but the first ones are very colourful and photogenic.

Hi LG, some belong to the Maritime Museum and some are privately owned and some are hire companies.

On a sunny Sunday the whole Harbour is alive with boats, many sailing races etc. I am plotting a day in the city to test my new Olympus DSLR lens and of course the R3 will be doing it in parallel - but today is cloudy and nasty so far. Should have gone yesterday as it was a brilliant day, but I had some concreting to do associated with the foundations of my giant log wall.

The 'tour' we usually do (and take visitors to) is get the train to a stop just north of Sydney Harbour, walk across the Harbour Bridge, climb the south-east bridge pylon for mind blowing views of the harbour and the city, wander down through The Rocks area (first part of Australia to be settled, still some oldish buildings), wander around the Quay area to the Opera House and then maybe further into the Botanical Gardens and for views back to Opera House and bridge. On a long day we may stick around the Opera House and Quay area for night shots.

Anyway you can see all this for yourself by using Google Earth, go to Sydney (Australia) and zoom out so the eye height is about 5 or 6 kilometres, or about 3 or 4 miles, for a good view of where everything is.

The city is south of the bridge, the Opera House is very obvious, the Darling Harbour area is just west of the city. The marker for Sydney seems to land on David Jones department store with the Sydney Tower very close to it.

Regards................ Guy

Bergen looks lovely, I'm glad you found a dry day! My part of the world suffers much the same.

I took a few more today and as an extra experiment, I took along my Oly 5060 too. I posted them on http://happytraveller.smugmug.com/ under "Oly 5060 v Ricoh R4". Some PP has been done but nothing drastic.
Here's a couple of new ones.





C.C. most welcome.

Happy, I like the first one alot. Is that the actual colors or did you play with it a bit in PP? What is the big crane on the side?

Must be a rain thing everywhere. The last 2 days are the first good ones we've had in weeks. Just a calm before the winter I am afraid!
I would love to see some more pics of where you are.
LG

Not bored at all. What lovely pics, especially the one of the harbor at night. I also love the one with the houses on the narrow street. It looks to be a wonderful place to live.
Keep em coming.
LG

Glad you liked them,

The first is just a slight crop, I was lucky that the sun was still almost out to the west and the darkest cloud was moving in from the east. It really highlighted the new bridge. The crane is no longer in use, but way back it lifted steam train engines onto ships. Both were built here in Glasgows industrial hey day.

The second shot is just a rotate and slightly lightened as I had underexposed in order not to blow out the sky.

I was in downtown Kobe the other day for rugby, and took these for no special reason. They certainly do not do Kobe justice nor are the artistic. They were taken with the R4 however, and do show something of my 'hometown.'
