It's Stu's shots of Clevedon Pier that makes me want to go do that, it's only an hour and a half from me. That's proper dedication!

The nearest Motorway is that long a drive from mine. 1 1/2 hours away. But it's amazing what you can find down here in the sticks.
 
I look at all your recent landscape work. And think I'd love to do that. But then realise we have no hills no pretty views round here. :(

You should see where I am, mate ... Pancake land. We do have some rolling hills towards the coast though.

@Stu Meech makes a massive effort. He travels all over the country for one shot. I just dick about on a Saturday/Sunday morning whilst the missus and kids are in the land of nod.

Thanks for the shout out mate! In reality, it's a large degree of luck I have to work all over the country - so always chuck my camera bag in the car just in case! Plus family at either end of England helps!

Clevedon Pier is about an hour and a half from my house too! Nearest bit of decent coast. Hope you get down there soon!
 
Well as I figured, something was bound to go wrong. Email from Tina at Panama to say the Tamron 28-75 is out of stock and no idea when they'll get it in.:rolleyes:

So, refund for that at some point, but they did good and have told me they'll still give me the £15 discount, which is nice...:) Back to trying to decide what zoom to get now though:thinking: Might see if I can bag a secondhand 24-70 VC, as I just can't afford a Nikon right now
 
Quick, easy and a lot of luck...managed to find a Tamron 24-70mm VC for £400:cool:

Hoping there's no complications with this order now:rolleyes:

I must give it a go Stu. We did stop off briefly on the way back from Breen last year, vowed to go back.

I kinda wish that were the case for me too Martin, though I'd need to change career path.

Anyway, as we've discussed everything on this thread, @ Minnt: what's best practice for a decent lawn for over winter [emoji14] seriously, destroyed my last autumn, newly laid turf this spring with being too heavy handed with the weed and feed, it's still patchy.
 
You think @minnnt knows ? He's always on here, not having a fork in the local park

Sounds like you need to get some seed mate. Get a bag of top soil and some silver sand if you can. Use plenty of seed on the patches and cover it over with the soil/sand mixture. Give it plenty of water and you should be sorted. Do it before the weather turns cold though as you'll need above 7°C for it to germinate. (y)

Got roped into going to Disney land Paris next month for a long weekend. Do I asked the d750 or the rx100 mk3. It's mainly for my 6 yr old step son. Decisions decisions (n)

Thanks very much, too kind. It's the Tamron 150-600mm.
 
Not at all, you make the effort and thankfully share with us(y)

Much appreciate letting me know the lens too!

Absolutely bloody brilliant.
I love the red arrows. You have definitely done them justice.
From reading the exit data on Flickr. I take it you put in manual. Set the shutter speed and aperture to what you wanted. Then just set iso to auto so the camera worked out the witchcraft

Thanks :) Yep, exactly right although I did use exposure comp from time to time. Wasn't easy as we were facing the sun a lot and so things were silhouetted and/or lacking contrast. Thanks god for Lightroom :lol:
 
I've never thought of doing it that way. This is why this forum is great everyday is a learning day. I've learnt more over these past few months then I have since taking up photography.
I must start using light room. Can't just stick to cs6 all the time. But I just find it loads quicker. I just find lr6 just so confusing.
 
Love the idea of that one.
Shame about the tw*t on his phone though, and the girl next to him with her back to you.

Thanks very much. AF mode was mainly group AF, with some single point. All AF-C of course,
 
Glad you`re happy with it matey :thumbs:
