Popped into town yesterday and had the D810+28-300 with me so grabbed a few quick street shots. I normally use the Fuji or even the micro 4/3rds for this type of work as the Nikon is large and obvious in comparison, it worked and I am happy with the results and the 28-300 is a nice lens and...

I stopped at one of the local allotments on the way home today, had the D810 & 28-300 with me so thought I would grab shots of some of the flowers that were the results of all the hard work put in by the owners. It was overcast and reasonably bright so perfect to capture the images, here are...

I have recently purchased the Tamron 150-600mm, had been procrastinating but they have the £100 rebate and 5yr guarantee and that coupled with the superb reviews I have read encouraged me to "do the deal". I took it out today and wanted to try some nature shots with it - I have to say it...
