Thank goodness I got the morning photo on Saturday
2

On Saturday, I was up at sparrow f*rt and down to the Kokopo boat harbor to take a sunrise picture.

I was very pleased with this…

…except for one factor -- the resolution! I took it with the 12-35 lens @ 35 bit using the Ex-Tele feature for a bit more reach (out to as much as 50 equiv) that gave me an 8MPX file.

I actually had the f1.8 45mm Oly, the preferred lens for the job, in my bag, but couldn't get it out because the zipper snagged.

Getting up early this morning, checked the sky, it looked promising from what I could see from home, then set out on the 35 minute walk to the harbor carrying the GX7 with the 45 in place!

Three things went wrong:

  1. It wasn't a 35 minute walk this morning, it was more like 40 minutes and I messed around finding my sandals and so started out a few minutes late. So I arrived 5 minutes or maybe more too late really.
  2. The yacht sailed away yesterday, according to a couple of early birds chewing betelnut and have a bit of chat on the cliff top.
  3. None of that mattered because the low cloud was thick and high this morning.

The best I could do was…

…a pleasant enough pic, but not one that is about to light anyone's fire! It is the full 14 MPX (of the 3:2 format) -- or was until I cropped it a bit top and bottom.
