Very nice Mark!  I’ve noted your posts on social media have focused on 
performing an assessment of as many distilleries as possible in a short time 
period. I am glad to see that you did have time for photography as well!

We will be visiting several coastal towns in Scotland this July (in a small 
cruise ship, on our way to some fjords in Norway). The closest stop to Islay 
for us will be the Isle of Mull, just a bit further north. I am hoping for 
photo opportunities similar to yours.

That looks like a really nice spot, and some nice photos. 

The ‘out of order’ sign on the stamp machine is pretty definitive isn’t it - if 
they make it out of cast iron I’d say they don’t plan on fixing the machine! 
I’d forgotten stamp machines even existed, haven’t seen one for decades.

Holiday photos

2024-05-14 Thread Mark Roberts
Part 1 of our UK trip is done and I've uploaded a rough cut of photos.
Since this is a walking holiday I left the full-frame kit at home and
these were all taken with the K-3ii and either the DA 16-50/2.8 or the
55-300WR (both really superb lenses). These are all from the Isle of
Islay in Scotland (and, yes, I did a good amount of Scotch tasting
along the way).

More than a few times I've found myself wishing I'd brought the DA
12-24 (if Pentax were to make a weather sealed version of this lens
I'd buy it in a heartbeat).

Next: Getting on a train to Ulverston in the lake district for the
serious walking stage of our trip.
