I finally went for a walk with my new camera. Lots of work to be done, getting to know it, but I'm liking it so far. I was a bit of a coward, and stuck with Canon, but I did venture out into the brave new world of mirrorless. I went for the EOS R7. I chose one new lens - 35-150, but will be using an adaptor for my other lenses, so we'll see how that goes.
This was taken at Loch Kinord on Wednesday - I took some time out for myself and the camera, just to potter and try stuff. As you can see, the water was like glass.
In other news, Qingdao is approaching the port of Ha Long Bay in Vietnam, and is currently sitting in first place for this leg, with only 94nm to sail. It's going to be a tight finish as Unicef's yacht is only about 20nm behind. Is it the luck of the new Irish Skipper, or the fact that they are now in the Year of the Dragon? Go Qingdao - this has to be your race!
I hate to admit I donât know what a mirrorless camera is! ( I will investigate) but it certainly looks like you know how to use it! The quality of the foreground is amazing.
Looks like you made a great choice in cameras (I'm a Canon girl too and have toyed with the idea of going mirrorless for about 2 years now!). This is beautiful and the news is exciting- keep us posted on both the camera and yacht progress.
Beautiful reflections, you seem to be getting used to your new camera, I have debated about a mirrorless but havenât made my mind up yet,I will be interested in your opinion , I too am a canon girl!
Wonderful water with a mirror reflection. I was in the Canon team for many years. I changed it to Olimpus about 10 years ago. In fact, back then there was only a choice between Fuji and Olympus. The big gamers weren't interested in mirrorless cameras yet. I immediately bought an adapter so that I could use Canon lenses. And the only lens I use is Lensbaby. I exchanged the remaining lenses for new equipment.
Wonderful reflections. Be interesting to know if using an adaptor for the lenses, loses anything, because that is probably the thing that would be most off putting, if you already have a collection of glass but canât use it & if the adapter âworksâ.
@ludwigsdiana So very happy that they made it in first place! A great effort from them and so well deserved! It was very tight during the last few hours though!
@carole_sandford Yes, that will be interesting. I'm assured it's fine, but it may well result in a gradual replacement of lenses for me. But I can do that over a period of time, if needs be.

As to Qingdao, I am so excited and hope they make it đ xx
I posted a comment to you on Jennifer's page that gave a link to a programme called The Primitives of Photography 1850 - 1860.
Photoshop was around right from the beginning ha ha.
