Another from last weekend. Arriving at Manorbier, two things were abundantly clear. One, this was the most interesting light I'd had all day. Two, it probably wouldn't last long. So I took this picture on arrival as a bit of insurance. Just as well I did, because it's probably my favourite of the afternoon.

Ta muchly! For a quick insurance shot without tripod, I'm quite happy with it!
Nice work. Not sure why but I always love the way long grass comes out in mono.Another from last weekend. Arriving at Manorbier, two things were abundantly clear.

and when looking at the exif I was surprised to see what they'd been take with, a D300
The D300 may be old news now and arguably horrible but it's a capable bit of kit. A part time model friend of mine sent me some shots and they're simply stunning, as is she

I don't think I'll ever have a Nikon again even if I had to get a DSLR I wouldn't go back to Nikon.
BUT... Whilst clearly very capable and with oodles of menu options, it feels like such a step backwards. Basic stuff like AWB is poor indoors and the controls don't feel intuitive. I much prefer Canon's control system.
Lovely shot. You get about a bit!!Another from last weekend. Arriving at Manorbier, two things were abundantly clear. One, this was the most interesting light I'd had all day.

Lovely shot. This is just my taste. most of my shots are shot with at least -1 exposure comp on
I would I still rate the 5D as a great tool for capturing images even at 12mp same with D3 and D700I'm sure it's perfectly capable. But as a basic analogy, would you swap your a7 back for your old 5D?
never really understood why TBH and certainly not the premium price Fuji charge
Thanks, Robert.Lovely shot. This is just my taste most of my shots are shot with at least -1 exposure comp on
Looking back at my old 5D (Mk1) shots, they were really clear and sharp, well-defined showing great colours BUT that's only after you'd spent an age cleaning the sensor after every trip, nomatter if you changed the lens or not!I would I still rate the 5D as a great tool for capturing images even at 12mp same with D3 and D700
Yes not my most used camera I must admit but it has some great qualities
Have you checked you have the latest firmware for the Nikon D300 I have a couple running org firmware in one and the other is up to date with firmware ?I may have overreacted a tad last night
and it isn't for the want of trying!
Thanks! And yes, I agree. I don't entirely know why either
Alien Sony picture now removed. This is going to happen more now I've reached 50, isn't it
( Once again, thanks Colin )
It's a reminder of how much i've chopped and changed systems over the past few years. It's fine, I will post something later.Just put it back, it doesn't matter. It's only because when my mouse moves over pics the exif data pops up at the bottom. I did similar yesterday when I added a few shots to various groups on Flickr and then had to remove them when I remembered which camera I had used.
I thought you had them all by now [emoji1]
Any recommendations for a cheap insert? Don't fancy forking out for an F-stop!
Pick and pluck foam?
About 15 inches
