One of my favourite events to shoot is our annual marathon and it was disapointing when it had to be cancelled earlier in the year due to Covid. But now it's on again, but this time with a difference, up in the highlands using narrow gravel roads for 40km of the length.
Yesterday I spent 6 hours getting to and scouting out the route to assess the challenges I'll come up against finding shooting locations where it's safe to stop whilst maximising scenery oppurtunities. It's going to take a considerable amount planning.
Apart from recording many possible positions I also had a chance to test out the Nikon Z6 taking some hand held 'snaps' of scenery to see how the metering, EVF histogram and ADL tackle the harsh lit scenes.
No 1 - One of many shots to record location of shooting positions.
