Thanks. I was on a 3-night photographic holiday in the area, planned and booked months ago in the expectation of normal weather, but the drought conditions (although not quite as bad as in the SE) were hardly ideal, photographically. But the low water levels here in Watersmeet (a well-known beauty spot) were actually an advantage, the slow-moving water being clear and revealing the river bed. And the clear, sunny weather and blue skies throughout were definitely an advantage.
I took and used my new 3-pound sledgehammer (Sony A7R and 24-105mm zoom) but what this achieved, I'm not sure. 61MP and a full-frame sensor notwithstanding, the results on Ipernity and Flickr being indistinguishable from those taken on smaller-sensor cameras.
For all that, the trip (contrary to my expectations immediately beforehand) did produce quite a reasonable number of pictures (albeit no truly outstanding ones), helped by the ability in PhotoShop to turn brown grass green.
I am about to upload the last remaining ones, including a classic view of Dunster, to remove the parked cars from which will be a magnum opus.
