Spring Landscapes

[pdk42]

After my provocative "am I mad to shoot landscapes with m43" comment during the Andy Westlake meet up, it was good today to take some landscapes and prove to myself that I'm not!

This is with the 12-100 (which is an excellent landscape lens BTW - probably the only one most people will need):

And this one, for some variety, is with a "plastic fantastic" 50mm equiv (the Panasonic 25/1.7) - a steal at £100 new:

Both lovely photos Paul, the composure on the 1st is super, and the clouds in the 2nd make it moooody…..:-))

Superb - and what an interesting dimple in that field which is clearly visible in the first one.

Beautiful, Paul, especially no.1. A picture like that almost makes me feel homesick for Warwickshire (which I'm guessing it is) .

[pdk42]

Yes, Richard. It's a shot from near to Offchurch. Just off the old Rugby-Leamington line (a Beeching era closure).

Shot taken from here and looking roughly south west towards the Grand Union Canal:

And this is the location of the dimple in the field ( I think):

Beautiful tones in those Paul and an excellent composition for the first one. Any idea what the dimple is?

[MJ224]

My money is on a Dew Pond...:-))

[Phill D]

He's very close to the Fosse Way there so maybe it's Roman?

[OM USer]

I like the composition in #1; a nice mix of grass and ploughed field.

[alfbranch]

Nice shots Paul
I am a M4/3 landscape shooter and have never felt the need to use another system.

[pdk42]

My question to Andy was tongue in cheek Alf - just to get the conversation going!

[snag2000]

Especially like the dog in the first one - though it's a great shot without it.

Thanks Paul - #1 is standout.

Photo number is through the roof impressive. It looks sort of like a maze where the eyes go endlessly wondering around.
