This morning has started sunny and hot, like in the summer. My daughter Julia came to visit us by surprise yesterday. Today we've decided to walk along the torrent that crosses Sant Pere de Ribes, the nearby village (where I keep my P.O.Box).
After a three hours walk, carrying the Mamiya 645e, the Chinon CM4S and the K10D with the Tamron 70-210 58A, my neck was not so happy as it was at the beginning, but it has been a nice exercise for the case one day I have to drive a F1 car...

Film will be developed next week, but digital shots are ready:

#1 Sant Pere church



#2 Sant Pere "castle"



#3 Several small new houses that are proliferating these days around



#4 Bushes



#5 Still old houses remain there



#6 Sun really hitting hard



#7 Look back to the way done



#8 Back to Sant Pere, cooking with solar ovens at the main square



#9 Poneys walking the children



A nice walk and a nice day...

Jes.

Warming pictures!

Favorites are #5 and #6, but all are nice.
Number 8 is interesting. Wouldn't be much market for those ovens in Sweden.

Very nice set Jes. As I have said before these "local" shots really bring home how diversified this group really is. I am always stunned by the number of non-english speaking members who make the effort to communicate and do such a marvellous job of it. Makes me embarassed Embarassed Embarassed . The ovens wouyld do OK in Southern Cal where I used to live, but not where I am now.

Thanks Patrick and Sven for your kind comments.
The pictures are not of much quality, I know. I'm still figuring out how to properly use the K10D with the MF lenses. I was getting better results with the Canon and this lens.
As you say, I do prefer to share right now our local environment with not so good pictures, than waiting to have better ones (that may never arrive Wink ). The heavy top sun didn't help too much anyway, and now I'm not sure If I set the proper WB for that....

the first one have a unnatural green sky and the others are slightly off.
you should at least use adobe gamma to set neutral gray

Very nice series Jes !!
My favourite is #6
The solar ovens look like a really neat environmental solution!
The shrub in #4 with those cotton-like flower thingies (or whatever they are) is really an infesting pest here - it climbs over trees and eventually strangle them. I don't know it's name.

Zewrak, many thanks for the suggestion.
When I bought the camera I was wondering if putting one on it. I suffered a lot when I did so on the 350D, and with the focus confirmation in the K10D it seemed redundant to me. But seeing the results, maybe I do need the focusing screen.
What I'd like to have is one of those that have the split line on a tilt. Having the split line horizontal makes difficult to focus when only horizontal lines are available in the subject, the tilted ones allow focusing without having to turn the camera 90º...

I think the colleague jlsa05 bought one of those, I've to ask him.

Thanks, Poilu!. I know, I used to have backaches until I started using a backpack. This time I wanted to go "light" so I left the backpack home...

Thanks, Orio. The shrub you mention is not so common here, that's why it draw my attention, it was the first time I saw it around.
I'll be watching it Wink
