Panasonic GF1 and a £6 Canon 28mm FD

Great shot, lots of textures and grades of light. The GF1 looks like a lot of fun--you were able to fit a Canon lens on it? Any special adaptor? I thought it would only take 4/3 lenses from Panasonic or Olympus...

I really like the composition and the symphony of tans. Casio could use this photo to demo their point-and-shoots!

Thanks! Too bad the camera is more than 5 years old, but the Z-750 is the sharpest, lightest P&S...EVER. If it had image stabilization, I would've never gotten the Canon G10.

Absolutely stunning. Can't get Ollie Williams out of my head though when I see it.

Nice. I like the brown stone used for all the buildings. I presume it was quarried locally. Is the last building with the Gothic windows a church?

Thanks, yes I think it is a church, stone is local and has been there for years.

All MFT cameras will take adapters which mean you can mount just about any type of lens. For example a Canon FD to MFT adapter cost me £25. You can pick a used G1 up on ebay now for around £200 which is very cheap, prices have dropped since the introduction of the G2

Salford Quays this afternoon. Give me stormy skies, and the occasional patch of sunlight... and I'm happy for hours... :)

^ Very nice light and dynamic sky. The colors work together very well. Modern structures are a bit new for you, my friend. Interesting to see you step out of your well established comfort zone.

Time to start watering...

^Good framing and use of simple colors. An all around good photo.

^ I have that camera and it has served me well. The kit lens you used isn't very sharp but will do until you decide if you want to get a better one. My suggestion is to stick with the basic settings until you have a good feel of the camera. The XSi/450D/Kiss II is not sharp at ISO 200, keep it at 100 for now. Set the camera up as simply as you can. Turn off that highlight tone priority and set the White Balance to Neutral. Shoot with these settings until you learn what the camera will give you with as little in-camera processing as possible.

Nice photo! (edit by me...)
Mike, please, TIMG quotes. I know you can do it...
