  1. If you like motorsports then you would love the TT! The island revolves around the racing and motorbikes in general for the whole fortnight of practices and races, and the island itself is quite lovely. Most hotel accommodation is booked up to a year in advance but you might have more luck looking for a private rental, or coming for the practice week rather than race week itself. Hope you enjoy the London-Brighton as that looks like a real spectacle.
  2. Thank you for the welcome, and I suspect the island hasn't changed very much since you were here in the 80s It is definitely a lively place when the races are on and more laid back for the rest of the year, but always lovely surroundings.
  3. Thank you for the welcome, Lisa. I look forward to getting involved here [emoji3] Sent from my F5321 using Tapatalk
  4. Such a striking building and lovely details! I visited the Rhine many years ago and would love to go back again.
  5. Thanks, Mike. I have had a foot in both camps since October as I waited to see if the Fuji kit really suited me, but with the Nikon gear gathering dust it's feeling inevitable that it will be sold or possibly traded for a couple of the lovely Fuji primes! You can tell I am leaning this way by the fact I have come looking for a forum to see more Fuji imagery and pick up tips as I continue to get used to the new body and lenses and want to make the most of them I do have some images on Flickr, although only the most recent are taken with the X-T2, but here is one of my favourites so far taken with the very nice 10-24: 46 Remote by Andrea Thrussell, on Flickr
  6. Hi, I am new to the forum and fairly new to Fuji, having bought my X-T2 and some lenses in October last year. Previously I was a long-time Nikon user but the image quality and smaller and lighter body and lenses were a big attraction and I have not regretted the purchases. I live in the beautiful Isle of Man, which is the island in the middle of the Irish Sea and probably best known for tail-less Manx cats and the TT road races for motorcycles. It is a wind-blown place for much of the year, but with a mountain, glens, beaches, villages and lots of open countryside it is a peaceful and photogenic place to live. Looking forward to getting involved here
