The beautiful Holkham bay on the North Norfolk coast is a magical and peaceful place. It's very picturesque and makes for a wonderful destination for any landscape photographer. The bay sits just West of the beach huts at Wells-next-the-Sea and the easy walk between the two is delightful.
This image was captured on a lovely late September evening just as the sun dipped beneath the horizon, the clouds turning a gorgeous salmon pink, the grasses forming endless patterns moved by the warm southerly breeze.
The Fuji X-T1 with Fujinon 10-24 F4 lens was set on my tripod, cable release attached with a Lee one stop hard ND Grad filter in place. Shooting at a shutter speed of about a second allowed me to capture the movement of the grasses, while an F stop of F11 and focal length of 10mm ensured front to back tack sharp focus. This 10-24 mm Fujinon produces astonishingly sharp images and I would highly recommend it to anyone searching for an excellent wide angle lens which produces very little distortion at the wide end of its range. Yet again, the X-T1 was faultless. I have no regrets swapping over to Fuji for my landscape work, the system I carry around must be less than half the weight of my Nikon kit I previously used for this type of work. It's been a very liberating experience.
I have now purchased a Fuji X-T2 which I will write about soon. Keep checking back.  |
