I can’t find a definitive answer on what’s an allowed distance to travel for “exercise”? We’ve tended to stick to 5 miles, but did go a tad further last weekend to get to Surprise View.
There isn't one, the actual legislation doesn't even mention local just says you can go out to exercise. It's only the guidelines that mentions staying local.
We’re very lucky, the Peak District is our local area
I am lucky too. I have hills, woods, history, beach, Edinburgh etc etc but I crave some wilder coastlines and adventure.We’re very lucky, the Peak District is our local area
My view is that you are self policing and actually making it safer by going to places that are less populated. The risk is tiny at present and I had my vaccine today so am hoping they can get on with it and we can get a semblance of normal back into our lives.
As much as I love Derbyshire I do wish I lived closer to the coast and/or the Lake District. I have an affinity to water, and also prefer photos of water scenes, my favourites being lakes and mountains.
Thats what I was thinking.
The A9 might not be the ideal landscape camera but it is more than good enough for the vast majority of settings. Maybe the DR isn't the best but it is better than the Canon 5D IV and that is a very popular landscape option.
The 5DIV (13.6) actually has better DR than the A9 (13.3), but the A9 is much better than the 5DIII (11.7)which has been used by many thousands for landscapes. The A9II (14) is very decent and I’d argue can be considered a great all rounder.
You are right, just noticed it was the A9 ii I looked at. As you say though it is more than good enough for landscapes.
Don't forget that the photographer is probably the most important....
I’ve been guilty of going by specs etc in the past, thinking I need a minimum of 14ev DR but the reality is I was happy with landscapes taken with my EM1 and EM1-II. There was only one time the EM1 didn’t cut it when compared to my D750 and I was glad I had the D750 with me.
What are you wanting to shoot with the combo? The A7III, A7RIII, A7RIV, A9 and A9ii are all great for pretty much everything.
What do you shoot most and for wildlife are you shooting action or static subjects
Some of my favourite landscapes were taken with my Panasonic G80 and 12-60 kit lens...
Get an A9 from Panamoz.
I always find there’s a little extra can be had off the bodies from Panamoz too, I paid £2940 for my A9ii so £100 off. To be fair it was £2960 but there was a slight delay (actually only ended being one day) so they gave me another £20 off
Yes, more than a stop depending how you bracket and filters also make a difference too. I will often take an exposure and hope to get everything in range and then take a couple of safety shots - one for highlights and one for shadows. Often the single file is enough but sometimes it is nice to have a couple of stops more latitude. I'll also often take a shot for most of the scene and then a higher iso shot at the same exposure so I can freeze movement in trees etc and blend them together so I get movement where I want it and frozen areas where I want detail. It is digital so why not take safety shots or blend exposures to create a scene
I think everyone prefers areas that aren't their local area. I'd love to live close to the Peak District as there is just more going on than in Bedfordshire. My favourite area is the Lake District. We always go up there for a week every year. Ive been thinking of visiting Scotland but COVID has put that on the back burner we a few years whilst the UK 'staycation' is a thing.
I'm lucky that I have the pennines on my doorstep and I live in the Irwell valley right next to some historical sites (Wet Earth Colliery) I suppose the Peak District is technically only 20 mins away other side of town, to Lakes is about an 1h:30 away.
As above yes, and a lot of people do this. If I've got a high dynamic scene such as a sunset with the sun in the frame I'll use filters AND bracket. There's no right or wrong way to bracket but I tend to take 3 shots (some take 5 or more) standard exposure and then +/- 2 stops. I'm not sure how much difference being able to shoot at 20fps is going to make tbh, movement is more likely to come from the slower shutter speed taking the overexposed shot. I also wouldn't use 20fps on the A9/A9ii as you can only do this with compressed files, I will only use uncompressed (or lossless compressed if the camera has it) for landscapes.
I live in a small town on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales, so have decent countryside from my doorstep. However, there’s a limit to how many times you can photograph the waterfalls. And woe betide you if the local curtain twitchers should see you out with a camera, or worse still with a rucksack on your back. Facebook groups will be moaning about it for days. And if a stranger dare to stop to buy a sandwich, well you’d think the wheels had come off the world. I was in pure ecstasy when I found out that my wife’s inoculation was scheduled for Kendal (mine had been locally in Skipton). It meant a nice long trip in the car along deserted roads, itching for the police to stop me. They didn’t.
Excellent examples NanbytesWorks really well, used to use it before I replaced it with the A7RIV.
some of my favourite shots are taken with it
Mostly Landscapes
That would say A7R iii or iv to me if looking only at Sony
We have a simple way to deal with curtain twitchers - don't belong to Facebook or WhatsApp groups. [emoji4] Let 'em gossip - you're giving them something exciting to talk about.

I liken it to twisting the tail of a gummy tiger - gives them something to do!
Then an R body will suit you fine. The R3 is a great choice if you can get on with the ergonomics
He already has the A7III by looks of it, ergonomically it's the same but with a better EVF.Then an R body will suit you fine. The R3 is a great choice if you can get on with the ergonomics
