The viewfinder was an issue for me too, as I like to have the camera up to my face. I settled for the add on which admittedly adds bulk, but I can live with that. On the plus side, it's articulated for low shots like this:

Nice shot. I like how you can see the sea through the window.
Mine for today is a covert shot on the train.
Love the colors on this one.
Love the colors on this one too. That green glow is specially magical to me.
In other news, I broke down and ordered the 6D. It arrived last night. Still haven't had a chance to try it out in daylight. But low lighting shots looked really promising. Definitely a bit of a learning curve over my T3i.
Another shot from Newport Beach, to finish off that series.

Thank you.

I set two Protomachines in the weeds you see to the bottom left. I always like the mottled effect that gives to the light. White balance was set to tungsten so the color of the sky is as shot. The orange glow to the right is from a sodium vapor light we couldn't turn off. This was a two minute exposure and the full Moon was playing nicely on the clouds.
Very nice, enjoy your new camera. Mine for today. Not a great shot, but driving home from work I saw they were pulling down this building. I knew if I didn't grab a shot in the morning it would be gone, so I pulled up on the way in. I felt like a burke as the workman arrived but I loved the irony of the shot. I mean what sort of lasers were they using!
Comments always welcome. Taking my daughter to her first (and mine) Comic-Con tomorrow so hoping for some good photos. Any tips as I have not done anything like this before?

I did Comic-con a couple of years back. Didn't have my DSLRs at the time, but took lots of goofy photos with my P&S and phone. Mostly, it's interesting people/characters in costumes, etc.
That's what I figured. It's more my daughters idea of a good day out than mine, but I figured if I take the camera it might be interesting. Plus if I use a bit of stealth I might get a picture of my wife and daughter who always refuse.
Nice shot. I like how you can see the sea through the window.

Thanks MacRy and I really like this shot of yours. Not to take away from your efforts but that Fujifilm X100 is quite remarkable. The clarity of this shot is amazing.

Thanks Peter, pretty sharp for F2. The X100 is a great little camera. Lightroom needs some props for it too

Aire Sculpture Trail
Still in Saltaire, this little chap is at the start of the Aire Sculpture Trail, a set of 15 metal sculptures based on drawings submitted by local children, and dotted alongside the footpath which follows the river Aire from Saltaire to Shipley.
The sculptures are meant to represent something relevant to the area - only a child's fertile imagination could conjure up an octopus in the river Aire!
It turned out to be quite fortunate that I left my lens hood at home - I like how the sun's rays look to be catching the attention of the octopus.
