The D3 did its job, but as I was going on holiday (and there will be several entries on that to come), I wasn't inclined to drag it along. So it got traded (not a difficult thing to do in Japan) and became a bit of spending money for the holiday and a DP1 Merrill to complement the DP3. I've tried 28mm before, but it's something you have to get used to if you usually shoot normal or slight telephoto, as I tend to do. 28mm forces you to consider the foreground of the picture much more.

So while I curate / edit the holiday pictures, some shots from the Merrill pair.

Osu Kannon

Umbrella waiting to cross

Port of Nagoya

Can't afford no shoes

Trees, wide angle view

He shoots, maybe he scores

Nature and manmade

Morning Glory

Goal! And for the Brits of my generation who get the joke:

"S**t! Did you see that?"

Light and shadow

More light and shadow

Everyone's walking

Nagoya TV Tower from a new angle

Another crossing

Port of Nagoya again

Signs of early autumn?

Bars

That's a few from the two Sigmas. Coming up will be what could be a very long series of travel shots: I just finished the editing process and there are still several hundred shots which got through. Well, certainly enough to keep this going for a while...

Thanks for looking, keep a look out for further updates!
