Can the K-S1 do landscapes?

**clackers** · 11-02-2014, 05:54 PM - **6 Likes**

Someone described the camera as a bit like the K-x crossed with the K-01, with a touch of K3 (the interface also borrows from the GR, I've read).

So of course it can ... new adopters will see what their phones couldn't do.

Very nice!

That's just way too cool....

I've been gazing at it for ten minutes. That's gallery work.

**THoog** · 11-02-2014, 07:42 PM

That's just gorgeous.

Beautiful shot, outstanding!!

Wow! That's just incredible! Hate to post my meager first pictures after viewing this!

Outis · 11-02-2014, 08:10 PM

Fantastic!

Great shot.
I guess originally there was a pretty big structure on top of all those posts.

**luftfluss** · 11-02-2014, 11:25 PM

Super!

The geometry!
The contrast!
The contrast in colors!

So those LED's on the grip didn't prevent you from getting a great shot, eh?

Thanks, everyone!

Yes, this was a half-kilometre pier from the pre-container vessel age. Trains went right up to the ships for unloading.

About half has been turned into a fairly pointless modern structure, the remainder has been left as these original posts minus the decking.

The sun has set so it's the Blue Hour or whatever it's called. The OoC Jpg is almost exactly the same as this, colours and all.

Yes, lots of possible treatments, Gor.

If there had been interesting clouds, I might have gone for a third of sky.

Someone else might have centred on the red lights, instead of putting them at the third, etc.
