Newbie R10 owner from North Wales

[frosty.jack]

Hi, new to the forum and to photography in general.

I'm retiring in a few weeks so looking to combine photography with my love of spectating at motorcycle road-racing events. I will be doing some landscape/scenery type stuff as well.

Bought an R10 with the RF-s 18-150 & RF-s 18-45 and I'm slowly getting to grips with the technical side of things. I've added RF100-400, RF50 1.8 and RF 16 2.8 to the lens collection as I was offered them in a package deal from a friend. I'm really enjoying learning the differences between the capability of each lens. I'm fairly IT literate so I'm also enjoying playing in Lightroom and photoshop.

My biggest concern at the moment is making sure I don't damage my equipment carrying it on my motorcycle, any safeguarding/protection ideas would be appreciated.

I'm off to Iceland in a couple of weeks so hopefully will get a chance for some Northern Lights photos and then off to the Pyrenees and the Alps in May on the bike for some great landscape photography.

cheers for, Emlyn

Welcome Emlyn and thank you for joining up here. North Wales is a lovely place to live, certainly lots of options for stunning landscapes up there. I don't ride so I can't really offer any suggestions on the best bike bags I'm afraid, definitely something waterproof though! It sounds like you have some fantastic trips planned for this year, it will be great to see some of the images you capture along the way. Congratulations on your upcoming retirement too!
