Scott Howse's photostream  

Taken several weeks ago now, it was a nice evening down on this beach but I had hoped for some more cloud cover. It's a difficult spot, the sand is very soft but next time I'll take the Manfrotto sand feet.

I haven't been out shooting for what seems like ages now. My mind has been busy though, considering whether or not to buy the new D800. I have reservations about its 36mp sensor or to be more precise its relatively low pixel pitch (4.88µm) which will show up diffraction at a wider aperture, estimated to be f/9. Hmm, I'm still waiting to see what Canon are bringing out to replace the 5D2 before I make my mind up. When I do make my mind up I have to consider what lens to marry it with. Presently there are 3 in contention, the Zeiss 18mm (more DoF), the Zeiss 21mm or Nikons own 16-35mm f/4. all great lenses but not such an easy choice. That is if I don't go with Canon. Any advice or help would be a help believe me.

This image is about 2 years old now so scraped from the archive barrel. Am I the only one struggling with their photography at the moment? The inability to get out because the light and sky is whack, the inability to keep travelling every weekend to find something interesting due to cost and the inability, or more to the point the lack of knowledge where best to be at a given time, especially locally speaking.

My 2nd and final shot from yesterdays trip to Dorsets Jurassic coastline. The sky was way too heavy for anything meaningful and the sea was way too rough for low perspectives here and long exposures. Needless to say I got thoroughly soaked at this spot.

Not much collected here due to poor light but it was an opportunity to explore a little more of this stretch of coastline and to finally get to meet Mr. John Mr F1 Fanning. A pleasure to meet you sir and thank you for the coffee. Hope to be back down again soon.

Drove a long way and didn't get much in the way of sky, or to be more precise clouds. A reccy visit to the Devonshire coastline.
