You can almost picture the poor old lady (of Shallot) ready to enter the scene on her last fateful journey.....Or even Arthur's sword coming out of the depths :) Let your imagination run riot!
Than you Dermot; the still mood that I tried to capture in the image certainly would lend itself to the story all right!

Just as an afterthought I thought that I would post a sister image so to speak just for comparison purposes. I recall many “discussions” with photographer friends on the merits or requirements of having a human presence in a landscape. Where stands thou on the subject....

Do any of the photographers here use mirrorless cameras? If so, any opinions on strengths/weaknesses?
I'm thinking of switching from my Canon DSLR in the near future.

I cannot help you there Mark; I have always used mirrored for both 35mm and 120 formats.
What were you thinking of switching to?

Hi Fergus,
I presently use a 5D MK II and a bunch of L lenses which have become too heavy for me on a long hike and am thinking of going to a Fuji X-T1.
Had a chance of playing with one recently and am impressed with the image quality, small camera size and control scheme - very like an 80's film DSLR.

What equipment do you use?
Mark.
Hi Mark,
I also use Canon for my "35mm" and, although very rarely now, Bronica for medium format (still analogue).
When I changed over from analogue to digital I really miss using my old Olympus gear which I had used for many years. I loved the lenses in that range. The reason that I mentioned this is because Canon was the only brand that felt really comfortable in my hand after the Olympus and that was a very important consideration for me. As you said when one is out and about heavy equipment can become something of a chore and an effort. I do not know the Fuji range but this is something that you have obviously considered in your own thinking. Good luck if you choose to proceed.
