A very lively report. Scenes lit by a scortching sun that makes me thirsty at a distance, any suggestion?
I like the compositions - the (too hot) dog really made me smile.
Skin tones of the Pano Master look more natural/accurate with the Leica than the Nikon.
Loved the shots from the shadow side too.
Did you use a lens shade? I see very slight flare in one or two photos.
Thank ou for posting these.
