  1. Great workshop today. Grey skies gave way to dramatic ones later in the day.....finally managed to photograph Nuns Cross farm.
  2. Cant wait to hook it up to the 36mp D800 due next year......
  3. Had a chance to try the Nikon 16-35 f/4. Verdict: WOW! Very little corner softness especially over f/5.6. and this lens is SHARP!
  4. The D700 is truly amazing at capturing light. Virtually noiseless images taken in the low light at the Cathedral at ISO 3200!
  5. Finally received my Nikon 16-35 f/4 today just in time a for shoot at Exeter Cathedral this evening. Photographing the Christmas Concert.
  6. Winters coming. Snow on Dartmoor. Full set of Winter tyres going on car this weekend..
  7. Still not in possession of the 16-35 f/4 !
  8. Landscapes have ground to a halt. 24-70 f/2.8 developed a fault and gone back, not yet got the 16-35 f/4. Hopefully will have it next week.
  9. @Holgaman Yes, for the architecture. When the readies are available!
  10. I am now shooting less landscape and more architectural/people photography. Hence the 24-70 f/2.8. Really into B+W now....
  11. Discovered some amazing plugins for CS for B+W conversion. Its what I have been looking for ages. A few are in 'New Work' on my website
  12. Unprecedented demand for my photo cards and prints has entombed me in my workshop when I want to get out and try my new 24-70 f/2.8 Nikon!
  13. Nearly finished processing more of the New York images. Will be on my site soon.
  14. Thanks Nick. I think I prefer this to FB!
  15. Well,I finally have taken the plunge and ordered the Nikon 24-70 f/2.8 to go with its natural partner the 70-200 f/2.8 I already own!
  16. Lots happening. Magazine enquiries, two books on the go. One to finish tomorrow. Workshop bookings and Dartmoor is turning gold!
  17. Great workshop yesterday. Plenty covered, great locations....
  18. Sun;More images for a Holiday Camp Brochure commission.
  19. Fri,English Riviera shoot for new book, Sat,Organising a Wedding shoot, Deliveries and a sunset shoot on Dartmoor
