Talla Reservoir - a photo on Flickriver

Talla Reservoir

            On my recent visit to Tweedsmuir I drove up to Talla Reservoir, which was a smooth as a millpond. There wasn't a breath of wind and the reflections were amazing. The only sound was birdsong - absolutely wonderful.

P.S. I should mention that this was taken using the APS-C crop mode in the Pentax K1 Mk 11. So this is a crop of a crop, as I sliced off the top and bottom of the original image. The K1 has a 36 megapixel full frame sensor but the crop mode reduces that to about 15 megapixels. However, the quality holds up really well in my opinion. I recently had 18"x12" prints made of some crop sensor shots and I was hugely impressed. One unexpected benefit of shooting in APS-C is that you get the full frame image with a frame showing APS-C. It's a bit like shooting with a rangefinder camera in that you can see what is outside the chosen frame. I think it helps me refine my composition.
