Interesting collection.

How did you meter the backlit scenes?

Martin, I cheated. I just set the aperture - at 5.6 IIRC - and let the FE2's brain do its thing.
The FE2 apparently sees things exactly the way I do ... Very Happy

You have a nice sitting place (#4) to look around and for relaxing.

Few years ago I tried to buy a house here at the Kiel Canal (connection between North Sea and Baltc Sea with approx 25000 to 30000 container ships etc. per year.

Unfortunately I found out when I visited the house the first time that the view to the canal was not the best (nothing to see) and so no house and no view like yours. Crying or Very sad

I really like the last two, they seem stills from a movie.

Paul, being on the river, how do you deal with the humidity?
Lens related, of course.

I actually had Murnau's Tabu in mind, the final scene.

First, thank you for the latest kind remarks. Very Happy
Second, you guys are hoots. Laughing
Third, there is the random alligator; a 10-footer was corralled about 6 miles from here back in the summer. Shocked

Murnau? Wow ... Cool

Fourth, the humidity: it is only a problem during hot weather when there is a 25-30F degree difference between the inside air and the outside sauna. Our cabin stays cool in the winter; the temp differential is much less.
I try to keep my cameras out of the coolest air currents by keeping them in drawers, but where they can still breathe. Nevertheless, the lens fronts often draw condensation when I first take cameras outside. I let them sit for a few minutes on a deck rail and adjust, or I swing them gently back and forth on the strap, which gets rid of the condensation faster.
If I know I am going to be out at dawn on a hot day, I might even go ahead and place my camera in the car so it already is acclimated when I head outsid to look for light.
No condensation has got inside any of my lenses - yet ... Rolling Eyes
