Devil's Dyke, Newmarket

It seems that Ann Miles has beaten me to posting some pictures from today's rather damp RPS Nature Group outing to Devil's Dyke.  We managed about an hour and a half before the heavens opened, at which point we all trudged back to the car for an early lunch.

This was my first chance to play with two new toys: a 5DmkIII body and a 100/2.8L macro lens.  Not the easiest of conditions (it was blowing quite a lot as well as raining) but definitely a reasonable test for the new equipment.  The pictures aren't great by any means, but I'm astonished by the high-ISO behaviour of the new camera body: all these images were taken at ISO 1250 or thereabouts in order to try and stop motion blur.  Very impressive performance, and the new lens is razor sharp too.
