Could this be the way forward for me? The weight of the backpack is clearly getting to me, but I do like to have my tripod and all the other equipment that I normally use with me.
On this occasion, however I decided that I needed to go weight free leaving the backpack in the van and just going with the Nikon Z8 and the 24 to 70mm F2.8 lens. And yes, I know I could reduce the weight further by going with the F4 lens, but this lens is an absolute beauty and the pictures it takes are with such clarity I couldn’t dream of letting her go.
In honesty this was a one off my legs after the trip to Poland are in great pain and I’m finding it extremely difficult to walk currently. It was a last-minute decision once I exited the van not to take the backpack tripod and all the other equipment that I normally carry with me. It clearly helped however, the pictures probably took a hit in quality? I suppose the viewers, yourselves are to be the judge of that!
I initially went to photograph of church where they are currently showing a blanket of puppies falling down the side of the church. I then on my way home stop off at a spot in the New Forest in New Hampshire here in the UK.
The colours of autumn are ripe and stunning. I will share a couple of those photographs on here, but please do pop along to my YouTube channel and watch the latest Vlog where you will see the new forest in all its glory. All of the photographs taken handheld as I’ve already stated.
Again, thank you for reading this post. I wish you all a great day.
