Danger at Dovestones

As I try-out of my new to me Lumix FZ1000, I am turned away from my favourite photographic area of Dovestones reservoir for danger of fire. This taken from a high vantage point next to the closed carpark and shows the darkened valley on the right were recent moorland fires have burned away all the top bracken and heather. Below us here you can see one of the local fire-engines still patrolling the area with the red fire welfare unit at the top of this dam wall.
See Pip for adjacent view of our water depleted Yeoman Hey reservoir.

Herb Riddle replied to TOZ:

Hi Toz. It will all open when the fire service deems it is safe I presume. The camera does the job. You haven't appraised this photo?

Keep cool. Herb

Two splendid images Herb........even with the burned area the landscape is still quite spectacular and I can see why it is your favourite places.

I got a FZ1000 as a gift when I retired from the railway..........and my wife used it for a few years. I didn't really get on with it as I found it a bit bulky, but I'm about to gift it to my grandson to use. It's a cracking camera with a great reach, especially in good light. I hope you're enjoying it.

Herb Riddle replied to Keith Burton:

Glad you liked the shots of this camera and it brought back memories. So far the camera has delivered on what I hoped it to do with obvious misgivings ie as you say bulk. It won't really replace my Nikon though. Time will tell how I really get on with it. Watch this page.

Cheers. Herb
