Interesting photo full of detail.. Yes I like it as well. Looks as if the focus was on the second tree in as that looks to be the sharpest.
Excellent Neil. Great light but well captured and composed. I’ve been out for the bluebells this year but I struggled with the light. It was quite a lot of contrasting either too dark or too bright. I would love to capture something like this with the natural tones showing well.
I still can't get over how good the D810 camera is . Just look at the photos above of Craigs I don't think you could do much better with any other camera
Bazza I think you are right about the camera. I so desperately wanted the D850 but with the D810 being near enough half the price you just can't beat it. Stick on some good glass and the detail you see is just incredible! I love shooting so much now.
this is with that camera and the nikon24-70mm lens
normal distance@70mm
if enlarged the name of the train can be read just about (Samson) amazing even if I say it myself. Pays to fine tune the lens to the camera.
Next time I will try it with the Nikon70-200mm lens or even the 80-400 mm one
Does anyone use an Arca Swiss type L bracket with their D810? If so, any recommendations?

Totally different thing! A L bracket allows connection to a tripod ball head (or other type of head) in both portrait or landscape mode. A grip on its own doesn't connect to anything.Can't see the point of them, a Nikon grip allows the camera to be used in vertical mode anyway let alone having the extra battery
Hi Chris
you ask what you can expect. Well first of all how much more concentration is needed without the AA filter, the camera is less forgiving. Don't panic your photographic skills will get better, I know mine did irrespective of what you had before you will certainly notice a difference ,even from the D800.
You may have already read about fine tuning and well worth doing . There is a great book on the camera as well by David D Busch for around £21.I have it and it is a tomb of nearly 600 pages but everything explained in easy terms, more like a tutorial than anything else
There are also short cuts to make things easier

From Hartland or the camera? ...Just got myself a D810 from Grays of Westminster, albeit second hand. Had to sell a couple of lenses to fund the purchase. So I am left with just a 50mm 1.4 . Going away bank hol weekend to Hartland for some sea scapes. Not got long to familiarise myself with the camera. What sort of results can I expect?

See you next year then when you get that book, it will take you that long to get through reading it.:banghead:
I'm not too far away from Hartland so we may bump into each other as I need to get out soon with the camera or I'll be going stir crazy!!Hi Paul yeah a great area, just hoping I have got my head around the new body in time for my trip.
Dave.
A Nikon grip still has the same screw thread as the camera so I don't really understand when you say quote " A grip on its own doesn't connect to anything." unquote I can still attach a tripod plate to it. Also with longer lenses the camera can be turned vertical by loosening off the collar. Oh and the collar tripod thread should be used anyway for the support not the camera due to lens weight
I do mate. I use the Kirk one for the D810 and it's perfect!

ETA: There is also a very good pub there
Hmmmm not sure I can stretch to a Kirk! Anyone using a cheapo version that they can recommend?
Sunwayphoto do one, its what I use, very good too. evilbay I think is where I got it.Second hand one? There must be a few about now as people upgrade to the D850?
I’ve used Sunwayfoto L brackets on a few cameras. Currently have one on the D810. It’s actually meant for the D800 but the form is roughly the same, it just says D800 rather than D810. The only downsides de is the HDMI and mic port doors don’t open very well but I don’t ever use them so it’s not a problem for me (it might be for others).Hmmmm not sure I can stretch to a Kirk! Anyone using a cheapo version that they can recommend?
So here I am sitting at my computer in the dining room I now use as an office. Looked out the window and saw this. So as my D810 and 24-70mm Nikon were to hand I grabbed them and manage to get this without scaring him/her off.
Just shows how good this combo is at a moments notice. not bad from a semi dark room to bright outside light
