Family, Photography and other misc news
I am a big fan of the Nikon D800 series, and with the D810 now a few years old we are getting rumours of the next version the D850. Lets hope Nikon keep on hitting this one out of the ball park.
The D800 is a class act and still performs well from studio to nature photography and for many is a better choice then medium format, certainly more flexible.
Its been a real mix of weather in Lincoln over the last few weeks. The jet stream that affects a lot of the UK weather has been pushed down into its Winter position, more energy put into the climate will do that sort of thing. So its been sunshine and showers.

While importing a few new pictures I took at lunchtime I spotted Adobe had another bug fix release for Lightroom. Good to see them keeping up with the updates. They are supposed to be doing some major work for speed which is definitely needed.
The Lincoln Knights are proving a popular attraction in Lincoln.
I have collected photographs of quite a few of them but have not got them all yet.
I don’t always make it, but I try and go to our local independent coffee shop at least twice a week. Either on the walk there or in the shop I often find a interesting photograph.
My local coffee shop has a rather fun message board where people but up notes about anything and everything, wishes, hopes and fears. Its a great feature wall and really helps the atmosphere.
Some days Lincoln just teams with life, an interesting photograph round every corner. Whenever I am in Lincoln I try to have my Leica M ready. But with grey skies and rain I could not even find a colourful reflection in a puddle to photograph.
I was intending on getting a lot of household chores done this weekend and also get out to to the lovely Hartsholme Park to take a few shots but in the end we had a weekend doing nothing. Every year I fully intend to get out to the park with my digital SLR and long lens and document the wildlife over the course of a year, getting out there at least once a month and I keep failing. Maybe next year.
Its only been a few weeks since the last firmware update, which I have only got round to installing; and now we have another update. This just fixes a minor underexpose issue that can sometimes occurs that was introduced in the last previous update.
