The weather has been beautiful today in the Lake District - too beautiful in fact no clouds at all. I set out with my camera about 20 mins before sunset to see what the evening light would give me by Windermere:

Last week, I posted a picture of our Christmas tree and lamented how hard I find it is take a good picture. Photobug was kind enough to post directions, which I haven't yet gotten around to. But I said my iPhone picture of the tree, with zero effort other than touch the shutter icon, was better than the shot I got from my D7100. I promised to post it, so here's the iPhone 6 picture, which I do like over my D7100 shot. While there's noticeable noise in the corner wall, the tree itself looks magical to me. If anything, it shows just how far our 8 megapixel iPhone's have come.

Nikon D7100; AF-S DX 35mm f1.8; AF-S DX Macro 40mm f2.8; AF-S DX 18-200mm VRII; SB-700 Speed Light and a bunch of other not very noteworthy stuff......
Last couple of years I've shot infrared photos with a converted Panasonic camera (converted by Lifepixel) haven't posted any of them here naturally, but just recently converted a second camera. Had my eyes for a while to convert a Nikon P6000 as it is quite smaller than my Panasonic G2 and has a build in GPS (I knew it was pretty weak and it drains the battery fast, but when one has a fetish one doesn't care....) This camera was converted with the Super Blue filter by Lifepixel, but I've not seen much blue skies yet so haven't tested it in conditions where I think it will create a very different look from the other IR camera I got.
This photo session with Maliya was one of the most rewarding and productive shoots that I've ever had. More to come and with a funny little story near the end of the session. D800 | Sigma 50mm f/1.4 Art @ f/1.8 | 1/1600 | ISO 100 The tip of the lens is just under a SB-900/Lastolite Ezy-box.
I'll just post a little link to a photo here because some might be offended, even though all parts are covered. Unless your boss is really super cool, I wouldn't go clicking on it at work. http://tinyurl.com/o4dpycn
The funniest part of this story is that my girlfriend actually scolded me for not being more daring with my photos. She said that I was playing it safe and being far too conservative. Ilvy, the model/medical student was also thinking that we were playing it too safe. The world we live in today....
Edit: the photo reached #1 on 500px.
Thank You for respecting ALL viewers. I love the fact you can decide to click on the link or not. Again thank you.

sevencrossing, love the foggy bridge, I would just try to get rid of the green stuff in the corner, then it would be perfect.
I'm continuing my adventures in the world of analog photography. Below is a frame from the first test roll with my lovely new Hasselblad 500 c/m.
