Had an hour and a half in town with the GRiii today. Still not getting the shots I'm imagining, but that's more because of me than the camera. I need to spend longer in town, and have a bit more courage to get in close. That said, I did get a few nice shots today, just not what I'm hoping for. Loving the camera, though, even though I've yet to even open the manual and learn about what it can
really do! I'm starting to thoroughly enjoy the 28mm focal length, too.
Anyway, here's a few, and a few more will eventually find their way into my Gloucester Sharpness Canal project:
"Don't Cross on the Steps" - just me testing snap focus, and then afterwards being a bit silly with the saturation:
This was another snap focus, test. Most of my snap focus shots were a lot more blurred than this one. I thought I had the shutter speed set to a minimum of 250 but I can't find my way back to the relevant menu to check. Might have to open the manual...

And, lastly, a boat. I was - am - thinking of sticking with black and white for a period of time. But then I saw the blue and red together an couldn't resist:
Actually, there's a bonus snap. I did that thing where the good street photographers advise you to find a place of interest and wait. I need to do this more. Here I was lucky enough to only have to wait a minute or two. I think they have CCTV here, anyway, so much longer and I might have generated some interest in what I was up to from the CCTV wardens:
Thanks for looking!
