Surprised you didnt go join the film crew that were making the event. I guess it was a piece to camera for sale somewhere.

Like the sunrise shot. The 24-120 f4 really is a go to lens.

Good spot of the lghts on Scafell. With all the HSE in modern life people resort to all sorts of more dangerous stuff to bring some adrenalin into a boring life!


No thanks! They looked like a bunch of weirdo's. With that many involved it must have been commercial, they all seemed to know exactly what they were doing, like they did it every day? Perhaps it will appear in Coronation Street soon?

I am extremely pleased with it, I had been dithering about a 'mid length' zoom lens for years, feeling the 24-70 being way too short a range for my taste and well overrated in the quality department for my needs. It was Malcolm with his steam punk photography which first raised my awareness of the Nikkor 24-120 f/4.0. It's a convenient focal length range on FX and not too heavy, with VR, which is very useful. I am very pleased about how it responded to shooting directly into the sun like that.

It seems there is a 'three peaks' challenge every weekend throughout the summer. We are back up there tonight to try again, maybe get a better time-lapse set this time.
