I use a Pentax 24 - 70 F2.8, then I resort to some older, but well capable lenses such as the Sigma 70 - 200 F2.8, a Sigma 100 - 300 F4 and a Pentax 150 - 450 for wildlife, thee is a little crossover in there but it works, then wide I go for as Nigel's has suggested a Samyang 14mm F2.8..

Thanks RobL,

I was tempted to ask the Cadet leader if he'd let his Squaddies pose with Freya, but he didn't look the sort to mess with !! The bracken on the second shot was on quite a steep downward slope to a small stream so didn't try that. This was a solo shoot out on Dartmoor, many angles were used and I'll upload different images over the coming days / weeks.

I could have done with an assistant to help with the kit

Thanks to both Stub and Pshlute for your comments,

I did take some portable lighting with me, we left it in the car, prob another 10kg with stands, tbh just as well as we ended up walking 5 miles as it was, and the camera bag with lenses, which I used every one on the shoot weights 20kg.

I had deliberately under-exposed the White dress shots a tad, to maintain the lovely lace detail in the dress and the top combined with and against the light-ish blue sky, there had to be a compromise.

Thanks Mag07,

I can't do much about the upload size unfortunatly, Appreciate your comments, thank you

From the Fashion shoot part of a shoot on Dartmoor last Friday,

We were plagued by passers by, Walkers / Dog Walkers etc including 2 teams of Royal Navy cadets on a 20 mile walk across the moors, so had to cover up !!

All 645z with FA 45 - 85 F4.5

Hi Rob,

Yes, the camera has performed well at high iso's and goes with my own examples of 12,800 and above.

Thank you all for your comments, it was pretty much straight from the camera.

Thanks Al

Thanks Peter
