This was one of those “can’t quite make up its mind” days, where the weather was somewhere in between.

As we reached Swanzy Beach Park on our early morning walk, the sun had just come up, and the coconut trees in the middle of the park stood out against the large dark clouds and curtain of rain in the background.

Although this patch of rain passed us by, another hit as we reached the far end of the beach. It did get a little wet.

I couldn’t keep any detail in the bright spot in the sky around the sun and still have any shadow detail in the foreground. I suppose more post-processing work could have resulted in additional range, but this was relatively quick and dirty.

I’ve come to like the G10, although I’m curious about the newly announced G11.
