This man is a cycletaxi driver. He peddled my wife and me on a two hour tour of Cienfuegos, Cuba almost without stopping talking. He worked very hard, my wife is a little lady but no one would describe me as light weight!
He was very pleased to let me photograph him.
V2 shows a typical cycle taxi, they are cheap to use but a bit scary in busy traffic.
V3 has light use of burn tool on bright areas, Richards suggestion.
Comments and advice please,
Ian

Thanks for feedback, yes it's a great camera, the auto focus does not match a DSLR but its got a large sensor (DSLR size) and easy to use as the controls fall to hand. The settings are shown in the optically correctable view finder with is great with my eye sight, no need to put specs on to squint at dials.

I've run the burn tool set to highlights lightly down those area, an improvement. Thanks I always get a hints from this gallery,

Thanks for feedback. You might enjoy riding with your bad legs but you would need to keep your nerve in traffic. They go slowly so photography is possible.

I hope you had a good time in Cuba 
beautiful pictures, especially, the second one.
Sorry Ian, uploaded the same mod twice.
A little brighter, and reduce the noise. I have seen that exact same noise type from my Fuji, and I have only been able to avoid it be being very conservative with sharpening a RAW file, - and again in JPEG, then I dont see it at all.

Thanks. I'm finding that little or additional sharpening is needed after resizing Tthe sensor can be excellent but not always for same light,subject and settings have not worked out what the variable is yet. Had some really results plus surprisingly poor at normal snap settings, autofocus can be slow. Great camera to control and use..
