Ritchey Comapact mountain crankset set up as a wide range road comapct, 50/30 chainrings. The rear is an IRD 6sp. works great, and only drop to the 30 on long steep climbs.
The only hitch has been the deraileur set up, very tight clearances, and need to switch to something with a flatter cage to stop the occasional rubbing. Other than that it is a dream.

I currently use the following digital compact cameras:
Olympus E-p1 (front left)
Olympus E-p3 (front right)

Until my perfect digital compact comes around, I will continue to use the four digital compacts I have.
Thus far, I have been very pleased using the Canon G15 compact and the Olympus micro 4/3 as monochrome cameras.
I use the G15 as a black & white test camera when shooting with a 4x5 view camera because the G15 can give me a 4x5 aspect ratio for composition.
The Olympus micro 4/3 camera with Panasonic 20mm f/1.7 normal lens, Olympus 45mm f/1.8 telephoto lens, and Panasonic 14mm f/2.5 wide-angle lens produces excellent monochrome images.
I live on the edge of town near a large canal. There is a small, secluded park-like area there, where people walk their dogs and such. It has been colonized by masses of rabbits. Very hard to photograph too. This is the best shot from a series taken with my small zoom compact.
Captured at masaimara , Kenya when I had an upgraded version of 'aim and shoot' camera and knew nothing about photography!! One of the big five animals and my favorite.

Probably one of my favourite shots from the foray to Nunney. Again the N-grads came into play. Best NOT viewed large. The distortion caused buy the 10-20mm lens spoiled the foreground a little with soft focus, but the overall composition and colour combine in a shot that I have been longing to take for a long while. Without the wide angle lens this one would be almost impossible as the castle is tightly contained and the unexpected but glorious sunshine was really well timed.
An excellent property just ripe for conversion into a fancy modern home one feels – if it weren’t for the whacking great Cromwellian cavity in the other side of the building!
Dawson City on Christmas Day 1976 (with texture) - 35mm Compact Film - Photographer Russell McNeil PhD (Physics) lives in Nanaimo, British Columbia where he works also as a writer and a personal trainer.
I currently own and use the following digital compact mirrorless cameras:
The Canon G5 (back left) is the oldest digital camera that I still use. I would like to retire it but it has one useful feature that none of my other camera have -- a built-in intervalometer.
The Canon G11 (back center) has a reticulated LCD screen that I find useful when I am shooting still life or close-up subjects with the camera mounted on a tripod or a copy stand.
The Canon G15 (back right) is the one I take when I need to travel with a light photographic load. The f/1.8 to 2.8 28mm to 140mm fixed zoom lens covers 80% of the subjects I need to shoot. If it had a reticulated LCD, it would be close to perfect for me.
The Olympus E-p3 (middle left) and the Olympus E-p1 (middle right) were my handheld available light cameras until I replaced them with the X-Pro1. I am now using them as dedicated black & white cameras.
The Fuji X-Pro1 (foreground) is my current handheld available light camera.
All six cameras have the following important features that I need:
1. Quiet operation -- especially when shooting theater or in audio recording studios
2. Excellent image quality (jpeg and RAW)
3. Size, weight, and style of a Leica rangefinder
4. A simple user interface that relies more on dials rather than menus
5. Video
Some of the important features that I need but none of the six cameras have are:
1. Fast and accurate manual focus control
2. Input jack that accepts a microphone for video audio track
3. Accessory battery pack for extended shooting sessions
Some of the important features that I need that some have and some do not include:
1. Built to withstand daily usage -- my G5, E-p1, and E-p3 break too often and too easily
2. High quality, fast, interchangeable lenses -- the Canon lenses are not interchangeable
3. LCD screen that swings, tilts, and rotates -- only on the Canon G5 and G11
4. Hot shoe and PC flash connections for external flash units -- all have hot shoes but only the X-Pro1 has both
Las Ruinas de Tulum. Tulum Ruins. Mexico. Oct/2016
Tulum archaeological site is relatively compact compared with many other Maya sites in the vicinity, and is one of the best-preserved coastal Maya sites. Its proximity to the modern tourism developments along the Mexican Caribbean coastline and its short distance from Cancún and the surrounding "Riviera Maya" has made it a popular Maya tourist site in the Yucatan.
It was the site of a Mayan port which was supported by up to 1000 residents before the arrival of the Spanish. The ruin's tropical beach backdrop is the main attraction of this picturesque, much-visited small ruin on the shore of the Caribbean Sea
Each Mayan city had a specific purpose, and Tulum was no exception. It was a seaport, trading mainly in turquoise and jade.
As well as being the only Mayan city built on a coast, Tulum was one of the few protected by a wall.
Made of limestone, the 784-metre wall encloses the site on three sides, is seven metres thick, and varies between three and five metres in height. No doubt this fortification helped preserve the seaport.
Like the questions which surround the decline of the Mayan world, there are several theories as to why a wall surrounds Tulum. One has a Mayan population of 600 on the inside, protected from invaders. Another suggests only priests and nobility were housed within the walls, while peasants were kept on the outside.
After entering the ruins through one of five doorways in the wall, visitors are greeted by a field of gently-rolling hills. Black and grey stone outcroppings, which were once buildings, dot the sun-baked landscape.

A península mexicana de Yucatan, onde ficam as cidades de Cancun e Playa del Carmen, é uma região que foi habitada séculos atrás pela civilização maia. As antigas cidades ocupadas por este povo agora são ruínas preservadas e tornaram-se atrações turísticas muito visitadas. Um dos sítios arqueológicos mais importantes é o de Tulum, a cidade murada que se encontra de frente para o mar do caribe mexicano.
Esta cidade era designada pelos maias pelo nome de Zamá, que significa cidade da aurora. Tulum é também uma palavra maia para barreira ou parede, o que se entende facilmente pois a cidade encontra-se rodeada de espessa muralha protectora.
O primeiro a identificar a cidade foi Juan Díaz, que em 1518 fazia parte da expedição de Juan de Grijalva. A sua descrição de Tulum é a de uma cidade rica e magnífica, à imagem de Sevilha na Espanha. No entanto, o primeiro estudo detalhado do sítio deveu-se aos famosos exploradores John Lloyd Stephens e Frederick Catherwood, que publicaram em 1843 o livro Incidents of Travel in Yucatan.
Actualmente, milhares de turistas visitam as ruínas de Tulum diariamente, sobretudo em excursões organizadas. Tulum é o terceiro sítio arqueológico do México mais visitado atrás de Teotihuacan e Chichén Itzá e à frente de Monte Albán.
