The Facebook group reported a couple of significant improvements to the ongoing construction of The Minton, so I went by again on Saturday noon time for a photo-look-about. The cascading waterfall has indeed been finally completed with its water pumps started a few days ago, and all three pools – the main, 50m lap and heated – have been filled. It still seems though like a lot of additional work is still remaining – a couple of amenities are still undergoing construction and the like – and I’m not sure if we’re going to be getting keys in a few weeks that other residents are hoping for.<\/p>\n

Sky was very sunny and weather very hot too, but the circular polarizer worked pretty well this time for several of the wide-angle shots. I brought my two m4\/3 cameras again. Oddly, the E-PL2 with the 12-50mm doesn’t work well at all. Lots of pictures taken suffer from an odd loss of sharpness, even when shot at 1\/60s shutter speeds and faster.<\/p>\n

Slow exposure to create milky water currents. This was handheld with a long lens, and the slowest I could manage was 1\/10s – this would not had been possible without\u00a0E-M5’s 5-axis stabilization system.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Fun world areas have been surfaced. Wonder if this is the final color, or it will be painted over soon.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
