With nothing in the way of new pictures to mess about with I keep returning to the backlog. Quite like this one of Achtriochtan with early autumn colour, fleeting light and water obscured by the reeds.

Sony RX100 MkI test
All hand-held photos taken with the Sony on a rainy & misty day.
I bought myself a pocket-sized Sony RX100 MkI compact online to replace my old Canon G9.
The G9 is a great camera but not so good at high ISO’s whereas the Sony is pretty decent up to ISO1600.
I got a great deal online ($375), so decided to go with the old version of this camera.
The new versions (now up to MkIV) sell for up to $1200 dollars which is way more than what I wanted to pay.
Later versions have faster lenses and wider focal lengths, built-in EVF, and better video.
The Sony RX100 is a great camera!
The image quality from RAW files in such a small body is quite impressive.
You can really customise the rear controls to put most of the important functions like exposure compensation, ISO, and white balance at your fingertips.
It’s great not having to dive into the menus to change settings.
The high ISO performance is pretty good as well - up to ISO800 is fairly clean and ISO1600 is definitely acceptable.
I’ve even managed to get some usable gig and astro shots with it!
Some users reckon that its good at up to ISO3200, but the image quality is not so great in my opinion.
Auto-ISO works quite well too.
Video (1080p HD) is pretty impressive for a compact camera.
The built in pop-up flash is not that great though.
There is that shutter lag that you get with most compacts too.
There are times when I get tired of lugging around heavy DSLR gear, so its great to have a lightweight camera I can use.
I bought the Sony to basically take with me wherever I go, and I’m enjoying having it in my kit quite a lot.
Sony are really making some innovative camera gear these days and are shaking things up in the camera world!
I think it’s amazing how these scruffy juvenile moorhens transform into sleek adult moorhens in such a short space of time. Moorhens can have up to three broods in one year and they eat seeds, shoots, water plants, snails, worms, tadpoles and insects. Photograph taken at Three Sisters near Wigan.
Another viewpoint in Monument Valley, the three sisters regally stand in the background.
I find it interesting how many famous landmarks are named this as I know a few others as well in different parks. Guess you run out of creative names after a while.

The three young ladies with folded hands in this daguerreotype appear to feel that having a daguerreotype made is serious business. The two seated girls wear fingerless net gloves and very similar dresses. All three have very short hair.
