On Golden Pond

Walking off the turkey and mince pies….. we met a man and his dog fishing (well the dog wasn't fishing).
This is the first photo I'm posting taken with my new 'pocket' camera. Sony A7 with a 35mm lens - Santa was very kind to me this year! Plan to always have it with me - love my DSLR but it is a tad huge for a pocket.
Ooh you lucky thing. Sounds like a great camera. I'm waiting for my new Fuji X-Pro 1 to be delivered. Tomorrow hopefully!

Oh wow an A7 gosh I'm jealous. I think I will invest in a csc this year, I'd like a camera I could take out more easily.

@seanoneill I've been looking at the fuji too, got some great reviews, look forward to seeing how you get on with it. I imagine it will be particularly good for b and a.

Nice processing.
December 29th, 2013  
cool colours and always good to have a new toy
December 29th, 2013  
Lovely...great composition and colours.
December 29th, 2013  
Fantastic tones and composition, love the processing and very jealous of your new toy, would love one to carry around as would be much lighter than the 5D!!

@cazla yes, that's what swung me, and Park Cameras have an incredible deal on. The body only is normally £1300-£1400 and they are doing body, lens and a voucher for a macro lens for £899!! That's saving about £1000!!!

I love the detail and colours in this shot. Sounds like Father Christmas was very generous this year ;o) xx

looks like you'll be sharing lots of fun with your new toy.

Whoop, whoop! I went with the olympus ep5, so much to learn, but loving the size! This image is wonderful.
@seanoniell - that sounds like an awesome deal!
I think we should start a new thread or tag - images from new toys!
December 29th, 2013  
@seanoneill wow that is a good deal, off to check it out!
December 29th, 2013  
nice! Fun to play around with new stuff!
December 29th, 2013  
Nicely done. I'm looking forward to seeing more shots from this new toy of yours.
December 29th, 2013  
What a beauty!! And thanks as you've given me an idea for year 2 re carrying the pocket camera rather than always having my DSLR (which I admit does get a bit old sometimes). I have a decent one I rarely use and need to get to learn it!
December 29th, 2013  
Beautiful shot and wonderful processing. Love the colours and textures in this.
December 29th, 2013  
Great that your new toy makes its debut - enjoy! Super pov here and I really like the texture and tones of the water.
December 29th, 2013  
What a gorgeous shot! I always walk around with a pocket camera and probably have taken more shots with it than my dslr. It's just so . . . . handy.
December 29th, 2013  
Gorgeous-:)
December 29th, 2013

@mzzhope same thing happend with me, following again.
awesome capture! love the POV and tones! congrats on your new camera!
December 30th, 2013  
Super PoV and fantastic focus & DoF.
Thank you for giving me a passion for gardening challenge! Winter or summer, there is always gardening dreams!
I was to London once for ten days. Loved every minute of it. Although I am an avowed country girl, if I had to live in a city, I would choose London.
Your challenge is to photograph something quintessentially British - something that absolutely screams England and leaves no doubt of its location or nationality.
Not necessarily an object - but maybe a tradition or culture such as a pub.
Have fun!
BTW - I have just finished 365 and would love to join the party but do not know how to post my photo to that page. How do I do it?
December 30th, 2013  
Great tones and love the composition!
December 30th, 2013  
Sounds like a great present. Love the tones.
December 30th, 2013  
Wonderful light on the water.
December 30th, 2013  
Such a wonderful shot! Love the POV, composition and golden light. Congrats on your new toy!
December 30th, 2013  
Beautiful Jocasta - wonderful Christmas pressie too! fav
This isn't your last photo is it - why does it say 365 - you are doing above and beyond the call of duty! : ))
