I currently shoot mainly landscape with the D800and have the 70-300VR for telephoto use when needed, find it pretty good ingood light, but I'm looking for a little more reach and quality for trying myhand a bit more seriously at aviation and wildlife photography. I've thought about the new...

Had a couple of trips into Llandudno over the last week to get a few shots, some interesting light.

Weather forecast was promising last Friday afternoon so adash down to catch the train to Snowdon summit, luck was in again, the clearestI've seen it. An added bonus was that I even had the trig point to myself withtime to set up the tripod

Sunday's forecast looked very promising so made the trip down to Cadair Idris. Set out at 5.30am for a wander in the dark up to Llyn cau to get there for sunrise and turns out my luck was definitely in, beautiful colours and stunning reflections on Llyn Cau.. couldn't ask anymore for a first visit

Out and about North Wales again on Friday afternoon and had planned a few different locations to try.. visited the National Slate Museum in Llanberis, Aberglaslyn Pass and a beach near Conwy for sunset

I don't really use a telephoto much but would like one just for travel/holidays when IQ isn't 100% critical. I did buy the 70-200 F4 when I first got the D800 and as excellent as it was just couldn't justify it sat on the shelf 90% of the time so sold it on. The obvious choices are the Tamron...

As with a few parts of the world the weather here in North Wales, UK has been pretty grim for 2014 so camera days have been few and far between. These shots were taken 3 weeks ago on one of the few pleasant days we've had. Llanberis dawn Llyn Dinas Swallow Falls

Set off early yesterday morning to catch the sunrise on Moel Famau in North wales as the weather forecast was very good.. it didn't exactly go as planned though as I had to battle a near blizzard to get to the summit. As it turns out though I probably managed shots a little more different than...

Llynnau Cregennen.. a lull in the weather Yesterdays weather forecast looked promising so I took advantage in the respite of the bad weather we've had recently to scout another location for my book. This was the first time I'd visited Llynnau Cregennen, located on the slopes of Cadair Idris...

Just returned from a great Christmas break in the Lake District, stayed at Keswick. These shots were taken on our Christmas Day walk to Ashness Bridge and Walla Crag, coinidentally taken with my Tamron 24-135 which I'm currently selling in the classifieds

Had a few new locations I wanted to check out in Snowdonia and the forecast for yesterday was promising so off I went, out from sunrise to sunset.. Llanberis Passing Llyn Gwynant Aberglaslyn Pass Llyn Nantlle Dinas Dinlle

Back from running a 1-1 with Phil in Snowdonia today and despite a pretty grim forecast it turned out to be an excellent day, especially in the morning at Cwm Idwal when the lighting was very dramatic

I was in Snowdonia running my Snowdonia Photography Workshop yesterday so decided to arrive early for a sunrise shoot beforehand. My luck was in with the weather as the cloud cover broke just as I arrived. This is the view from Cwm Idwal, the mountain on the right, Tryfan, is famous with...

Just back from a great week of walking along the Northumberland coastline, castles, stunning beaches and sunshine, what more can you ask for. These shots of Dunstanburgh castle were taken just after starting out from Craster on a 15 miler ending in Bamburgh, awesome coastal walk Shot with Nikon...

I'm looking for a "day bag" for my newly acquired D800/16-35 F4/70-200 F4. It's main use is for days out/travel/holidays, I already have a modified hiking backpack for out and about in the mountains so it's just for cities etc. Ideally I'd like it to be reasonably discrete, take the D800...

As the title just bought a 70-200 F4 (very impressed) and wondered if the Tc-17EII is a good choice for that extra reach when travelling/on holiday.. perhaps for the odd wildlife shot etc? thanks Simon

Just joined the forum as the D800 has lured me away from shooting Pentax for the last 6yrs. I do mainly landscape photography, probably because I'm lucky enough to be based close to the Snowdonia National park in North Wales
