Hi Michiel, thanks for looking and commenting. The exposure on the third is 
deliberate for intended mood. Certainly it is really
dark as shown, in the foreground shadowed areas. I was going for foreboding 
dark mountains! Don't worry, more brightly lit shots on
the way.
The Domke satchel is very compact for its capacity. The trick is not to 
stuff the front pockets full if you want to retain the slim
profile. I got it after seeing them on the shoulders of my BENELUG friends. 
While drinking Belgian beer, of course. The inserts as
bought for it were useless for my M gear. I discovered that I could make a 
neat and Velcro compatible liner for it instead, from one
of their wraps. Works perfectly with Velcro fit dividers grabbed from my 
stockpile of Lowepro cases and is completely customisable.
Thanks again for taking the time to look and comment.
Cheers
Geoff

Hi Geoff,

first and seconf one are really nice. The third could use some more PS 
to get out some more light and lighten up the fore ground. If it is in 
the slide of course.
I see you have Domke now, I hope you like it.

Cheers,

Michiel Fokkema
