Back in the Lake District
itsnotmeyouknow:
There are lots of great places for good honest ale in the Lake District. On a fine day there are fewer nice places. The Britannia Inn always has good beer and good food, and the maple tree just gets so big it blocks the view of the pub.

This swan allowed me to get within 3/4 feet of him/her: I know this cause manual focus lens and thats what I set the focus to while using 10 x digital on live view while focussing.

This is one from last year with my 5D mk II: Chapel Stile from the lane that runs behind the school and village - fond memories of good weather that was also good photographic weather

I have become friends with the owners of Waterhead coffee shop and this is the owner's son who is home from Sheffield Uni. The overcast conditions yesterday morning actually helped to diffuse the light as I have made few modifications to this shot

This is his dad. I got my Pentax back from Tokyo yesterday morning (at 7.30 am!) and put it through its paces. My excellent 45 - 85 lens needs investigation as it is wobbling a little bit and showing signs of not being as sharp as before it got dropped while on the camera. The repair bill was originally £1685 but came down to £800 as I insisted they didn't change anything for cosmetic reasons -they were charging £800+ for the front and top cover which is scratched from being on a shoulder harness. this doesn't bother me at all as my cameras won't be sold and apart from my 7D all my cameras are well used and look so.

Another shop sat closer in ( I have an annoying tendency to flash my cameras up for candids - not easy with the size of the 645D with a 120mm macro lens on it!

--- Quote from: itsnotmeyouknow on May 21, 2012, 05:22:36 PM ---I use both my 100L macro and my 180 macro for landscapes. I also use the long end of the 70 - 200 IS 2.8L and the 28 - 300L from time to time. It's good to get a different perspective sometimes. I do love the sharpness and contrast and colour rendition of macro lenses. I frequently use a 120mm macro with my Pentax 645D.

I love the 100 f2.8L for landscapes its my lens of choice when using my gigapan, panoramas shot with this lens stitch really well
itsnotmeyouknow:
I have done several panoramics with my 645d and the 120 macro (96mm 35mm equivalent). Some of them are huge files bearing in mind the 645d's 40 mp sensor. Many are too big to be saved as tiff files. My largest single amp is 6gb. The macro resolves very high.
