The GW690 is something of a beast of a camera – it didn’t get the nickname of The Texas Leica because it’s compact, that’s for sure. As a result it canbe quite an awkward camera to use, despite its otherwise simple set of controls. I find it quite difficult to hold in portrait orientation and most of my missed shots, where there has been a degree of camera shake, have been when taking pictures this way. The camera has a second shutter release button on the front of the body to aid in taking portrait format photos, but I still tend to generate more of a wobble when using it even like this.
Thankfully the portrait oriented pictures I took on this day in Wentworth have all come out ok with the exception of one.

Another excellent photo.
So these were all taken handheld then? No tripod?

Thanks P. Yes, all handheld. It was a bright day though, so I was able to shoot at 1/125sec and faster, which helped.

Knowing these were all handheld, I’m even more impressed with your photos from this roll. Seriously, good stuff.
