Paul, are we the only ones that use the R10? It's a lot of camera for the cost. The focus system and fps are outstanding.

Doesn't seem much take up on the body - despite it packing a punch for its size...

Plover Scar and the Ocean Traffic - a short story... Part One:


Morecambe Bay is still a thriving shipping channel as cargo vessels and passenger ferries travels to and from Glasson Dock and Heysham. Heysham ferry port is located on the North-West coast of England, approximately 4 miles South of nearby Morecambe, and 6 miles west of inland Lancaster. Glasson is still a thriving port handling over 150,000 tonnes of cargo annually and is still used today all year around by cargo ships and pleasure craft alike. 

Standing proudly is the 8 meter tall 170+ years old Plover Scar lighthouse safely guarding the seafarers routes - though as the following images were in the afternoon, there's no shining light! Remarkably, the lighthouse off the north Lancashire coast (near Cockersand Abbey) was hit at night time by a large, empty, cargo vessel en route to Glasson Dock and was seriously damaged in the collision, back in 2016.

During my walk on Monday this week, I was lucky enough to see a couple of ships - one leaving, the other arriving. 

The Silver River cargo vessel is a general cargo vessel built in 1968. She measure in at over 44 meters long. 

.... Part Two:

Plover Scar lighthouse is always worth a visit - more so when the tide is out which affords the chance to see more of the structure, and the chance to get a lot closer. The tide was coming in when I visited, but still afforded some good photo opportunities.

... Part Three.

What I enjoyed watching the most was the arrival of first, the Glasson Dock's Pilot Boat "Trelawney" who escorted a decent general cargo vessel into the dock - the EEMS DOLLARD - sailing under the flag of the Netherlands, travelling from La Pallice in France. Her home port is Delfzijl, and she was built in 2004. Weighing in at a considerable Gross Tonnage of 2545 tonnes and measuring almost 90 metres in length and a breadth of 12 metres, her crew safely took her into port, after which (on Wednesday) she set sail again on her way to Newport, South Wales. (You can also see what I think is the "Admiral Bay" dredger at work in the background of the photo where the pilot ship passes the lighthouse).

... and Part Four:

I just bought one this week and will be trying it out this weekend. I agree that it seems like a lot of camera for the cost. It was a choice for me between the R7 and the R10, but with a kid in university the cost was a factor, and I can live without the extra features of the R7. The R10 seems to offer everything I need, and to be honest I really like the small format. Will post photos next week.

If you're ever in the vicinity of Lancaster, I would heartily recommend a visit to Cockerham Sands - but beware, its a long way down a rather narrow and awkward single track road that seems to ever end!

I've lived in Canada for more decades than I like to admit, but I grew up in a little town called Garstang, just a few miles from Glasson Dock and Cockerham Sands. I enjoyed your photos - they brought back some nice memories.

Garstang is 20 minutes from my house, straight up the A6 (except for the new bypass built to take traffic away from Broughton village by the M6 motorway junction). It has lost a lot of of the quaintness it once had - too many new houses being built there - but inside the village itself, the narrow roads and small shops still afford some pleasant strolls.

I took my new camera into the back yard over the weekend. It's going to be a learning experience, but I can see that it will be a nice step up from my last camera (7D mark 1). And it's a whole lot lighter to carry around. There weren't many birds at the feeder but the dog was a willing substitute.

This seems like a very good camera for the cost. I think there's a tendency to get carried away with the whole gear thing. For someone like me, who just wants a lightweight kit that will produce acceptably nice images for personal use, the R10 is a good option.
