Lonely Tree, New Forest

New Forest, UK photo by Michael Dance

michael_danceI enjoy the great outdoors, combining my hobbies of photography and hiking, i recently climbed Mont Blanc & Gran Paradiso and this was my first attempt at learning more about photography. My D300 and 18-200 felt pretty heavy at 4800m but was worth the effort !! I sold my D300 and now use a D7100 (slightly lighter) and 17-55 2.8 (slightly heavier) and have decided to avoid full frame as the equivalent (D610 and 24-70 2.8) would be too heavy for the mountains i think.
