Welcome to the forum, I note sadly Scotlands not on your list... we do one or two photographic opportunities here.

Hello from Spain Raph. I too visited most of those countries (before being a Pentaxian) and got very beautiful pictures. I'm returning to Ireland this Summer and I'll be carrying my K-1 of course.

See you in the forum!

You'll need to get here before then, your not that far away... just remember the "Auld Alliance" of 1295 between the Scots and the French.

Bon jour

Nice list of equipment

What areas of photography do you like to work in other than landscapes ?

Lots of friendly and knowledgeable folks here at the forums willing to assist any way possible
