My advice would be to avoid variable NDs as in my experience the results are usually patchy and they are rarely strong enough to give really long exposure times. You would be better off with a set of individual filters... 3, 6 and 10 stop ideally (ND8, ND64 and ND1000).

Hathersage is a good base (if this isn't too late)

The footpath is officially closed but I walked from Flatford a week or so ago and it is currently passable but wellies would be a good idea. Alternatively park by the river at Dedham and walk along the Suffolk side of the river from there. The famous three trees are looking a bit battered at the...

I've just returned from a very enjoyable trip to Northern Ireland. It was a recce for a future workshop and nearly all the locations exceeded expectations apart from Dunluce Castle, the castle looked amazing but it was impossible to get anywhere near it out of hours. I've seen sunset photos...

I use f-stop bags, they have an internal frame and proper adjustable harness so are more comfortable than most camera bags and it's a modular system so you can choose the bag size and the camera compartment size https://shop.fstopgear.com/

I've been several times over the last few years and Ive noticed it has become increasingly popular... the last few times it has even been busy for the early morning ones and in the evening the car park will be full well before the time they suggest arriving. There is another car park further...

Sorry I should have mentioned, I did trial a set of the filters you are looking at (I was tempted to switch from my LEE Filters to a lighter set up but missed the grads too much) and with the larger size adaptor I could shoot at 14mm on full frame with no vignetting if that helps. I'm the other...

Kase recommend going up a size larger than you need to avoid vignetting so Id recommend getting 82mm which will also future proof you.

If I'm allowed to offer my services, I do Lightroom tuition on Zoom or in person (depending on your location of course)

A little late to this but I bought the R7 as a second camera to the R5, choosing the crop body as it offered something different (ie the crop factor) to a 2nd full frame camera. In practice while that extra reach is very useful for wildlife (coupled with the 100-500mm is a good combo) and the...

For that sort of money the 5D mkIV is a far better option imo, yes the resolution is lower but I never found 30mp insufficient and the dynamic range is excellent.

Yes they are still there, I'm not aware of any plans to demolish them, they were for Sizewell A and have been out of commission for some time

Second that
