Fantastic work again, very dedicated going out in all weathers, love a few of the photos my favourite is the snow one with the dry stone walling. Love seeing the dogs playing around too in the back ground.

I can understand that buddy. If my eyes didn't appreciate the Evf in dark conditions then from a tactical experience point of view I'd keep shooting the d850. The smaller size of the z series helps with packing though too. Like anything in life , it's horses for courses.

[@DavidMNewbold]

I always like seeing what you come up with for wide angle shots. I struggle to effectively use wide angle lenses. I find it more difficult to come up with a composition that fills the frame with interest but not a distraction or a giant area of nothingness. As a result, I always find myself gravitating toward tighter compositions. I was reminded of this when you mentioned how low to the ground wide angle shots was often your "go to" composition. I always find I am ending up just the opposite although I really do love a well composed wide angle image.

[@PaulGJohnsonphotography]

Thanks for the comment David. My go to with intimate landscapes has been 50mm (FF) but if shooting wide angle or ultra wide I feel that a strong foreground element works well for me personally. Getting low down particularly if there isn't a strong back ground (like in the Peaks) can help to balance the image.

Lovely images paul , trying to get back into the habit of going out again. How do you like the Z

[@PaulGJohnsonphotography]

Thanks David. It ticks the boxes. EVF in low light is a life saver for me with older eyes. However I can't feel it disconnects me a bit from the experience. Nothing beats looking through an optical viewfinder. Hence me buying the 645. However the weight and particularly size is useful and I can now focus in low light. :)
