Thanks Cillin, Glad you mentioned typical Wicklow - the amount of days with fog on the Sally Gap - it creates good photographic conditions - unfortunately we can't pick the days we're free to go out and do a little photography! Jimmy

Some great shots Jimmy, if you had taken the Bangor trail instead of the Western Way from the Letterkeen trailhead, you would have seen the sights you were looking for. The Owenduff bog is a sight to be seen ! One of the best vistas in the west of Ireland.

Hi Gavin, It's located in an area called Magheranraheen Or Rockforest. Not the easiest to explore. The area between Mullaghmore and road gives the place it's name (search for Red Walk) - large boulders on the limestone - well worth a stroll across this boulder field. If woodland does it for you try also Slieve Carran - Eagles Rock area. Fantastic old hazel wood. Have a great time. Jimmy

Thank you
@jimmymcdonnell9435
@jimmymcdonnell9435 5 ай бұрын
Thanks Marco, If you’re a landscape photographer then no - no reason to switch bar less weight with newer lenses. If you’re a wildlife photographer then yes for auto focus tracking and other such features. There’s also something special about a real world viewfinder that’s absent from mirrorless. Image quality may be a little better on d850 - I can remember being able to pull more detail from dark tones - don’t quote me on that! Jimmy
