Kaliningrad - Poland - 5th-7th March 2005
A Three day short trip from Moscow to Kaliningrad Oblast and then onto Poland before returning to Kaliningrad and then Moscow.

Technical Notes (Kodak DCS 560 Professional, Canon EOS 10D, 17-35/2.8L, 135/2L, 1.4X II EF Extender)
Primarily used the DCS 560 with 17-35L, occasionally the 10D with 135L+1.4X. This was my first extended trip with the DCS 560 and I preferred this consistently over the 10D (esp. the 1.3X vs 1.6X factor for the wide-angle shots). I found however that the 560 produces very neutral (but balanced) colours (reminiscent of the first Canon Digital Elphs - ideal for skin tones) - I'd like a little bit more saturation and this needs to be post processed as the camera has no in-camera option for this.
