Ah! The Pied Piper is calling me to France… off in an hour or so and back mid June with, I hope, lots of images for your pleasure. There’ll be the odd post from France during my stay subject to wi-fi connections and there’s a few images queued. See you next month!
Au revoir, mes amis! Bonne lumière!

SIGNIFICANT MOMENTS #5
Roseberry Topping, North Yorkshire UK also known as Yorkshire’s Matterhorn...
After my trip to Scotland I was set on buying Canon’s then new EOS 5D MkIII. However, when I got to play with one I was bitterly disappointed with the quality of the build. It felt light and “plastic-y” and somehow it didn’t feel comfortable in my hand. Now I had a dilemma; my entire kit was based on Canon stuff so if I was to change to another maker I would be spending significant money.
I narrowed the field down to the 5D and Nikon’s D700. As you’ll know, the Nikon won out and I’ve not been disappointed at all. What a camera!
It took me a little while to get my head around everything and even now I’m sure I’m only using it at a fraction of its capacity. The kit lens that came with the D700 was OK but not brilliant so I invested in the Nikkor 24-70 ƒ2.8G ED lens, which I use in almost all my landscape work.
This is the first image I was truly satisfied with using the new pro kit. It’s Roseberry Topping near Great Ayton in North Yorkshire and just seems to suit black and white on a warm summer afternoon.

Xonica Magazine Outtakes #1…
There’s a couple of images I’d like to share from those I submitted to Xonica Magazine. This did appear but as a black and white image. I like how Lightroom 4 dragged out the detail in the shadows.
There’ll be one more tomorrow…

Happy Birthday, Dad!…
Thank you so much for all the lovely messages on my 60th birthday yesterday. I had a great day with friends and family…
Part of my son and daughter-in-law’s present was this fantastic cake of my Nikon D700 complete with controls and logo’s made completely by my son. It even had the rear JPEG preview screen with a photograph of me on it!

With a Nod to Ansel - Llyn Padarn, Llanberis, North Wales…
It’s just a week to when I go to London to see the Ansel Adams exhibition and I’ve been looking at the great man’s work. I’ve interpreted four of my images Ansel’s style for posting from Monday next, both colour and black and white. They’ll run until Thursday.
