Hi all. Been a busy few days with the camera with a trip to photograph the milky way over Kimmeridge bay followed up by a visit to this truly stunning field of poppies last night. These little redflowers seem to have fallen out of favour with farmers recently. I am unsure to why this is but happily this particular farmer not only has grown them, he seems to also have an eye for a good scene as two years ago he had some beautiful Seinfoin in this field.
This time though me and my mate Dave didnt have this filed to ourselve like we did a couple of years ago. A field of poppies has attracted the photographers like moths to a flame and the second night I visited I was with the company of another 17 photographers! I don't mind at all though, honest guv! I met some lovely people, some fellow instagrammers and bumped into another photography friend too so turned into quite the unexpected social gathering! To be truthful it was great to see so many people experiencing the beauty of the scene as much as i did and I hope they all got great images.
I am rally loving the new Nikon ZF. It really is a brilliant camera to use and now my hands have retrained their muscle memory from the layout of the Z6 its a real doddle to use. reall ylike the imagery its producing too. Rich colours and somehow sharper than the Z6 even thoguh they share the same sensor. I also bought myself a new lens. I needed a wide angle in the armoury as borrowing my mates 14-24mm f2.8 was great and all but I was always terrified I would drop it!
I have bought the Viltrox 16mm F1.8 lens and took it for a test drive Saturday night photographing the milky way. I have to admit I was dubious about it as its not exactly an expensive lens being 1/5th the vaule of a new 14-24mm but I was very impressed with the IQ. Sharp even at 1.8 with limited koma at the edges and only mild vignetting at 1.8 which all but disappears at 2.8. Weather sealed to which for its pirce point is pretty decent!
Will post some images on here in a week or so.
Thats it folks. Thanks for reading and toodles!
