I only have one photo, from a very long time ago, taken after a very stormy night when Waterfalls was running very high and red with peat. Funnily enough there was no-one else out. I think every other time I've been there there's either been a lack of water or an excess of people. Getting down in the middle of winter should help on both counts. I struggle photographing waterfalls in general so for me this one counts as 'easy'
Thanks Trev, when I was out shooting the light was good and I remembered asking you some time ago if you shot your GFX hand held and you said you do (I am sure David @Mr Perceptive does too) so I thought I would give it a try. I was at first sceptical but as I went on I got more confident and will be doing it again. On these Photowalks I would normally (and did have this time) have an X-T2 for the hand held stuff but Tuesday coming I'm going to ditch the crutch and just take my GFXs.
There wasn't mutch of it devoid of people, hence not many shots of it.I read your blog thinking how did he manage to find that area without any people, then I got to the bit where Haytor was covered in people.......
Just don’t worry about bumping the ISO up if needed, the files are very clean
I have to say last week I stuck at 100 ISO and struggled a bit with camera shake as I wanted f11/f16 but the shutter was down to 1/60th for some shots which was ok on the 20-35 but I struggled with the 64 end of the 32-64. was lucky that when I was using the 100-200 not only did I not need such narrow apertures but the light was bright enough for 1/125th upwards.
The 100-200 has OIS so you can ‘get away’ with longer exposures, but you will find the files recover very well up to 1600 ISO - you will lose a little DR but you’ll probably still have more than the X-T2 had.
That's what I do with my X-T2s Lee but I have up till now only really used my GFXs on the Tripod, I'll experiment this week with Auto ISO min shutter speed 1/125th.Lovely images Paul
I will say, for the past few years I shoot my handheld, general walkabout photography in Av with autoISO/minimum shutter speed and more often than not I don't even pay any attention to what the ISO is.
I was mate, I was on my way back from a rideout, I stopped in Princetown and chatted to the Marshal on the Plume of Feathers roundabout but I had to get on before the main bunch came through. He said you don't even have to own a bike let alone a classic to be a member as long as you are interested in classic bikes. I was on my 92 FXR which is almost a classic.
No problem Kerry, there's more detail in my Blog if you haven't looked in on that.Only discovered this thread today, and I’ve just spent a very enjoyable couple of hours looking through it from start to finish. Apologies @Topsy for spamming your notifications with hundreds of “Kerry liked your post”
I lived in Princetown when I was a kid (not in the prison!), so there are lots of memories coming back as I look at your photos and descriptions. I’ve been back a couple of times, just for a few hours. The house I lived in (on the corner opposite the officers mess; my mum & stepfather ran the supermarket - it’s the visitor centre now according to Google maps) is gone now, but I’d love to go back and spend a couple of days down there and have a proper mooch/shoot some photos at some point.
Thanks Kerry.Lovely - I especially like the second shot
Nice indeed Jan, I would wish for snow that lasted a couple of weeks that way all the sledgers from Plymouth will have got bored and the roads will be passable again. We can but hope. I have a list of about 20 shots that I want to get in the snow.
Thanks Kerry, geting there slowly.Lovely as usual, @Topsy
Are you feeling better now?
EDIT: Just seen on your blog that you're still not 100%
Thanks Chris. I seem to be drawn to shooting Trig Points whenever I come across one but do try to make it part of an overall landscape.
