I do buy occasional bits and pieces related to my cycling, especially things that wear out, like clothes. But this week I bought my first piece of photo kit in at least year, a 50-230mm zoom for my Fuji. I am going to Romania next week, my first visit to that country, and I wanted to travel light. This means the Fuji X-E2 with two zooms?the 18-55mm I already had, the new 50-230mm, and an f2/23mm lens for low light situations. The new zoom arrived yesterday at my office, so on my way home I stopped at the central beach of Alicante to do some lens testing, in the way I normally test lenses?just by taking pictures. I think the result is quite satisfactory, and I look forward to walking around Bucharest with a light camera bag next week. Here are five images from Playa de Postiguet. There was a group of kiters and surfers, but it was the end of the day so they were winding down: https://www.greatpix.eu/All/Picture-A-Day/i-295tmjS/A Rinsing off: https://www.greatpix.eu/All/Picture-A-Day/i-4KzfqKt/A Walking back to the car: https://www.greatpix.eu/All/Picture-A-Day/i-h8LvcJ5/A The part of the beach closest to the centre, with the hotel where I spent my very first night in Alicante, when I was here for my job interview in the summer of 2007: https://www.greatpix.eu/All/Picture-A-Day/i-TqP34fw/A Teenagers having a mini botell?n on the beach: https://www.greatpix.eu/All/Picture-A-Day/i-6Q3KRNM/A Cheers, Nathan Nathan Wajsman Alicante, Spain http://www.frozenlight.eu <http://www.frozenlight.eu/> http:// <http://www.greatpix.eu/>www.greatpix.eu PICTURE OF THE WEEK: http://www.fotocycle.dk/paws <http://www.fotocycle.dk/paws>Blog: http://nathansmusings.wordpress.com/ <http://nathansmusings.wordpress.com/> Cycling: http://www.crazyguyonabike.com/belgiangator <http://www.crazyguyonabike.com/belgiangator> YNWA
