Nikon D750 & D780

I am really amazed by the sharpness of the 70-200 2.8 wide open on my D750. A 100% crop shows what the lens is capable of.

I'm sure we've been all been through this before, with Rookies (which I apologise for), but is that the Tammy or the Nikon 70-200?

I know you had the Tamron, not sure if you've switched?

You have definitely got a good one Anirban. Did you ever get your mate another one? If so, is it as sharp?

Yeah, he bought the same lens and the quality is same as mine. Really excellent.
 
What a weekend,

Spent Friday climbing up Corn Du in the Brecon Beacons, Saturday shooting a wedding in Wales and then arrived home this morning and promptly went out to take pictures of little one in the bluebells. The D750 did not miss a beat and spent most of the time with the 85mm on it.

Anyway enough talking, more pictures:

In the middle shot, there was a red kite in the photo that I've had to clone out as it annoyed me as it was literally just a spec, but zooming in reveals it is one, I didn't even realise till I was editing it!

Nice series of shots, Tim. Looks like the conditions were kind.

I've yet to take my D750 up into the mountains. I have a Peak Design Capture clip which I've used on my old Pentax but I don't know how it'll fare with the heavier D750. I'm more concerned about the increased size of the camera body itself and whether it's likely to catch - it's fine for walking and scrambling but as soon as a harness goes the camera goes back in the pack. Or do you keep yours accessible? I'd love to take proper shots mid pitch, but just a bit nervous about it...

Thanks you, the conditions were nice but it was bloody freezing up the top.

Mine lived in my (borrowed) camera ruck sack only taken out for shots. I don't tend to use a strap 80% of the time.

Always is - I think I've had one or two munro tops where it's been properly calm. A few with north of 100mph winds, which has been fairly hairy at times (never good to be lifted off your feet when there is a terminally quick way you can descend!)

I wouldn't ever want to take my rucksack off when climbing, so that's not an option for photo-ing. Even when scrambling I try to minimise rucksack-off time on the steepish stuff as I've have a close encounter with a falling boulder (just missed me) because I was messing around with my pack instead of looking up. And no helmet on that trip, so it would have been game over :eek:

I'm thinking I might find a way of attaching a security loop or something as well as the PD Capture. That way if I did drop my camera when on the steeps, it won't be gone.

Thanks. It was actually shot through a fence too.



Thanks. So the colour version works best then?

I can see what you've tried to do with the faded shot (background) but I still prefer the colour. A square crop could work well in this case.

friends of mine once took her sac off to retreive lunch etc in high winds - they never saw it again..:(
 
Had proper lens envy today lol. At the Yorkshire Wildlife Park today I felt pretty smug with my 150-600mm walking past the folk with bridge cameras and iPhones etc when all of a sudden someone came up beside me shooting with what looked like the Canon 400mm f2.8. I felt so inadequate :eek::runaway::ROFLMAO:

Very good images there David. You certainly know how to take stunning images [emoji106][emoji108]
 
Terrific Mk 1 Cortina pic David. Love the amount of background blur and the motion in the wheels.

Great images, really well take and composed. I assume you used a monopod for the panning shots? Do you have any more of the (6 series?) big bimmer?

Lovely images there even the other one is nice too imo. I must get to YWP soon as it seem a good place to go to. Notice you go quite often [emoji3]

Cheers Andrew. First time this year actually, although bought an annual pass so will be going fairly regularly now I'd have thought ;)

Thanks Pete. I'm quite pleased with this one. Wish i could have made more of the composition but the fences are a real PITA at Donny.

Thanks Toby. No, no monopod, just hand held. I still have a few pics to have a look at but i thing i could be lacking on the batmobile BMW pics unfortunately.

There was a few of them around though but whether i managed to get any 'good uns' is a different matter. :LOL:

Here's the Jagermeister one from behind:

Mk1 Cortina always has a soft spot for me, as it was my first car (not the Lotus though) :)
 
Oh stop it. Making me want to go right now lol but can't
