Nice gritty browns and greens, Julian. Looks like Thomas Hardy country (though I know it's not).

Thanks Rob. No not Thomas land, good old Cornish woods, full of pixies . But his Dorset, or parts of, are not dissimilar .

Both wonderfully atmospheric shots, Julian. I se what Rob means, they do have a feeling of a story behind them.

Thank you Pete. The story for me is that I grew up here , at one time devoting my time photographing the area. That was back when a teenager , sadly all the negatives and prints got mislaid. Many I can see clearly in my mind and a shame I do not have the folders of negatives, it may be enjoyable to revisit them. This is the only way to capture the essence of that time for myself.

I like that first one especially, Julian. So simple yet so rich in detail and interest. Have you heard the expression "sometimes you can't see the forrest for the trees?" That does not apply here.
By the way, I shot a few shots into the sun and also with the sun at an angle to my front (not unlike your forrest shot above) with the DP1 and got a very distinct greenish/blue flare spot lower middle (or thereabouts depending on the angle the sun was coming in at). Have you experienced this phenomena with your DP1? (I almost expected to see it above.)

Thanks Brian. Yes have heard the woods for the trees and quite a good analogy when appropriate.
The green flare or purple magenta flare can be a problem, it reminds me of film I've used sometimes. Having said that on occvassions the lens seems to take shooting into the sun very well at times. There does seem to be a particular angle when the bad flare occurs.
This being one, although the Dp3 they all act in a similar way. I think it may be a result of the sensor rather then so much the lens, alone.
