Loved reading this post Kieran! The dynamic range looks amazing. It's incredible how little noise there is in the dark areas, in the single exposure image taken with the Sony.
More food for thought for my fantasy camera shopping...

Thanks Cath! As it happens, the base image used here was a stop darker than the one I originally sent you on IG... 'tis bonkers.
Oh wow! Even more impressive! It was a nice surprise to see you post with the examples. Much easier to scrutinize those shadows on this platform, rather than looking at IG on my phone. :)
Yeah, it was a bit of a daft way for me to send them.
Figured it was worth a slightly deeper dive with the 80D shots included too (appealed to my geekiness!)
No not daft at all, it made Friday morning more interesting. I do enjoy a bit of camera geekery.
On a completely separate tangent, I really like the photograph of The Roaches. I don't think I've seen this view before. Makes me feel a little restless, as I feel quite landlocked in London. I never go anywhere else with my camera, and I'm starting to get a hankering for photographing somewhere different for a change. :)
Ah sorry - I meant daft as in not the best way to show the detail :) But yeah, it was good to chat it through.
I've got huge respect for the work you produce in such a short distance from home and the results you get - I wish I had places that pretty that close :) But yeah, I totally understand you might need a change of scene. If you're ever heading up to the peak and need any location pointers, I'd happy to help.
It's not a completely original composition - I've seen it a few times before - but it's one that does need a bit more of a yomp up than the normal viewpoints. I got a bit lost trying to find it on that trip! :D
I am very fortunate to live close to the park, there is so much to photograph here. But it would be nice to visit somewhere a bit less populated, with a nice big vista. Maybe the grass is always greener... :) I'm heading up north next week for a very quick visit and I'm tempted to just drive to the coast for a sunset, or something like that. Will see what the weather is doing. It'll probably be raining! 😆
If I ever make it to the Peak District then any advice would be very welcome! When I was a child we always went to the Lakes, so it's not an area I've explored much. It looks like an amazing place to visit with a camera... :)
