Cumbrian Landscapes and the D800

Last weekend I took my new Nikon D800 to the Lake District, in north west England. There is some beautifull scenery in that part of the world, and I came home with plenty of landscape photos. Until now, I've not really done much landscape work - I'm aiming to do a lot more in future. 36mp on a full frame sensor should come in useful there :~)

My D800 replaces the two Nikon DSLRs (D300, D700) that I have been using for the last few years (both have been found good homes via ebay!). I've only had it a couple of weeks now, and for most of that time it has been raining - so I haven't had a decent chance to put it through its paces. We did at least get a little bit of sunshine in Cumbria though - here's a selection of shots from there.
