Back in the Lake District

[John B.]

I can't decide. They're all terrific photos! I like them in both color and black and white. Perhaps the color has the edge.

Today the weather has been wonderful, but I was waiting in for a delivery from UK photographic retailer Jessops which never came because they messed up the payment even though they called me yesterday Missed out on a good day.

Did eventually get out for an hour and the light was nice. Stayed local to my place up here and took a stroll along Windermere:

Really like the desaturated image of the three boats , I feel in the colour version the green on the rock is a bit too dominate .

Another foggy day in the English Lake District, but while I didn't get much walking done I did get some quality shooting and am really loving the DA 25.

All shot with Pentax 645D and DA 25 f/4 (19.5mm 35mm equiv.)

Have been shooting mostly with my 645D with my new DA 25f/4 and it's been very foggy so far (apparently the evening I arrived there was a fantastic sunset - I arrived around 11pm so missed it)

Here are a couple with the D800. Although both cameras have similar resolution (and the dynamic range of the D800 is incredible) they are at the end of the day different formats. So I find some shots work best with the 4:3 ratio of the 645D and some work better with the 3:2 ratio of the D800. Yes you can crop them to suit, but that involves throwing away detail. You can get equivalent but equivalent isn't necessarily the same. They are both incredible cameras.

The D800 shots are handheld
