I have travelled extensively in Spain - wonderful country, but not Barcelona or Madrid. I have never felt threatened or at risk from petty thieves. Take the good advice offered here, and enjoy ...

The first is a very fine example of this kind of shot - better than I have ever managed :-D :-(  The sky adds such a lot.

I think it's an earthstar fungus. They start off like a ball then split open; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astraeus_hygrometricus Interesting shot.

Looks a beautiful space to live in. Well done.

I hope it looks effortless ;-)

1 (not keen on the frog action in 2) and 5 (a bit more off beat. 4 a bit too obvious)

As others have said, depends how you use the camera. I have only two batteries. I turn the camera off when not using it and get several hundred shots per charge. When travelling I try to remember ...

This one's nice too, but loses the serenity of the water somewhat. In two weeks there, we never got a glimpse of Mt Baker :-(

Beautiful atmosphere. Takes me back to visiting my sister on Salt Spring. I agree with WM - you have to move that tree ;-)

Both beautiful shots of beautiful places. I have my 'normal' shooting settings saved as Myset1 at my usual mode dial position, so that whenever I turn the camera on it's always at a sensible ...

Lovely image, but I do find that foreground rock a bit of a distraction. If only...  The sky and water are just beautiful though.

Mk 1 does have Live Comp. Mine is still going strong at 25000+ shutter count.

Last one is a very nice shot. Worth the wet feet.

Glad to hear you're OK. The first shot is just beautiful. The second has a lovely feel too, and great composition, just a bit too contrasty for my taste. The waves are rather nice too, very gentle.

I loved this set, especially the first, the Wolf and the first roof one. Interesting to see the before/after shots too.

Beautiful shots both, but especially the first. No people in sight? The Dorset coast is wonderful, but usually you have to share. Must be the advantage of poor weather I suppose. :-D

That's because it is 14 shots blended, so 14 x 5/8 sec = er... about 9 sec.

Bracklesham, West Sussex OK, I succumbed to the milky water shot. As I had no ND or tripod, this is actually 14 shots on fast burst, with the camera jammed in the shingle.

I love that sky in #9 - looks almost like it's been dropped in from another shot. the rest of the image is good too, with the contrasting tree. I like the russet colours in the last one too. I had ...
