Random Photos : Part 4

[Gandahar]

I went for a dog walk and the dog refused to go. Took my camera instead. Plus points was that the camera did not run off or try to hump other cameras on the walk, however my landscapes are still pretty shoddy.

Having said that forget the actual technical and see the Kent countryside in all it's glory. If people did 1 hour walk every night rather than doing "social media" we would not be as fat. How epic is our countyside in late Spring?

^ Gorgeous shots both of you!

I got my first super-wide lens the other day for my Fuji X-T2 – a 10-24 f/4 with IS. Quite pleased with it already – I just need to fix my iMac which has decided to die in the middle of processing them all. Did this one quickly on my work Macbook…

I'm hoping to get the 10-24 soon for my xt10. Looks good.

They polished that out well!

You can see the two new bump stops either side of the cabin:

They can't be great for visibility when landing but I guess they considered that before coming up with the design?

OK for prototype testing purposes!

Took the kid to the Steam Museum last weekend, I thought this highlighted the scale of the place quite nicely (and his excitement, both feet off the ground!)

They're airbags for bad landings - a previous flight resulted in a slightly crushed cabin.

Great photos though!

They don't look inflated in the first image so perhaps deploy like airbags.

ETA - Beaten to it by seconds...

Yep, I see what they are for and that they are not permanent deployments but even so I assume that they have to obscure the view during lending if they are deployed as a matter of course during the activity.

If they are only for a developing emergency then I assume visibility is of lower importance by then!
