Your R System Images - May 2024

[PKM-UK]

We hope you enjoy creating memorable images this month!

Have fun, but stay safe and well…

Phil and Karen

——

Any R System images (stills or movies) can be posted. If you would like to say something about the subject, settings, or processing, that will be very welcome.

Remember, you don't have to only post things you took this month - sometimes people don't get around to processing/ editing images straight after shooting. (Think of it more as an ‘images I’d like to post here this month’ thing). Images taken with non-R System lenses are also very welcome as this adds to the interest.

Images posted on this thread will also be available to view in the dedicated Monthly R System Images Gallery, which can be found Here.

Commenting on people’s posts is encouraged, as it keeps everyone interested and coming back. (Please aim to be considerate, thoughtful and constructive).

We aim to provide feedback - but note we will be away for part of May (and are busy with ‘life stuff’). The lack of a comment from us is not a sign of disfavour!

Finally, please post in accordance with the RF Shooters Community Guidelines.

Thank you!

Hi David,

A nailed on BIF - the world flashing smoothly by and pin sharp detail/ terrific eye pop in evidence on the subject.

Well seen and beautifully caught - thank you for sharing...

Hi David,

Got to be some major advantages to having that style of neck - whichever direction you're looking (or fishing)!

Well spotted (to you both) and well captured - thank you for sharing...

A great place to visit, its where the Prisoner was filmed, total wacky architecture, once again just lovely compositions and superb colour.

Hi Nick,

Thank you for those very kind words - much appreciated!

The moment you enter Portmeirion you become spellbound - entranced by it's quirky architectural charm and the ghosts of an intriguing cult allegory.

Of course, the trick is being able to leave again...
