Happy new year to everyone on the forum!

To get the new year off to a start with some images taken on a visit to a friend who has a house in a very small village here in central Spain.

All taken with the S5 and Sigma 50mm f/2 DG DN.

I finally got out for a day of shooting yesterday, first time since November last year! And of course, it was an overcast grey day with very flat light. I had fun nonetheless.

This photo is of intermodal train 5BM4 that runs down the east coast of Australia from Brisbane through Sydney to Melbourne, a total distance of approximately 1,950 kilometres.

One of my first pictures with the S5IIX. I do much more video with this camera, but if you find a spot like this one, you have to take a picture...

Nice. Yep, I also take pictures with my S5IIx. I don't know if you are doing HDR processing with your photos, but this should be very good in HDR.

Another shot from day out earlier this month. This is Pacific National's train #2226 bulk minerals led by locomotives 8178 & 8136 at Moss Vale, which is 145km by rail south of Sydney.

It was a very dull day with flat light so I processed this one in DxO PhotoLab using the neutral black and white setting.

Out for a walk yesterday, in the melting snow and testing a new lens...

Lumix S5, Kiron 80-200/4.5 Macro

I like Kirons, and this one is quite nice - metal body and built like a tank, well-damped focus, with nice colors and a crispness combined with decent OOF rendering.

Snow can melt in mysterious ways...
