Time for a better tripod then, I've only got a cheap one from currys so was planning an upgrade anyway, I read a lot of reviews before opting for the sigma lens it seems to offer quite a lot of bang for little outlay.

What make of filter were you using?

Marumi nd6, could this be causing the softness?

Been out with new lens at the weekend (16-35 F4 is) and trying some different techniques.

16mm panning anyone?

Nearly nailed it but I'm liking this one more very time i look at it!

Possibly. Anything you put in front of the lens can affect it. I'm not sure about the Marumi. Might be worth checking for reviews/ tests

Feedback always welcome, still getting to grips with Lightroom, composition etc. Do we have a thread for feedback?

smile If I'm honest enthusiasm has waned a little and I feel like I've done all the local stuff to death so I tend to restrict myself largely to holiday trips and the like nowdays. Having said that I was at the bridge tonight - it was crap! hehe

I was hoping you were going to cover the installation of what the press seemed to be claiming was the last section of "the bridge". Disappointing for you if the conditions don't make for a decent result.

The last lift was last Friday it seems - www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-38854057

Hope they clear away the cranes etc soon so we can see it in its final form smile

Thank you. I saw the video for Castle on the Hill - Ed Sheeran and the very last scene of the video was shot from where my photo was taken and I hoped it would be a nice shot, I wanted to get there earlier, but took a wrong turn driving down country lanes.

That's what I read but it seems there is still work to do on the roadway link to land at one end or both.

And still a lot of stuff that sounds like it might need cranes.

And the installation of the wind baffle system that sounds like its a 200% requirement for the thing to be at all usable ... can't help but think that might just make the aesthetics a tad tricky photographically thinking but I suppose we will have no idea on that until they start to install them.

Very old shot from me and a repost after 7 years, but while we're on the topic of the bridge...

I took this in 2010 from the Forth Road Bridge footpath when they were drilling/surveying for a location for the new bridge.

I used to commute over it every evening and took my camera with me every day for over a year in the hope that weather/sunset conditions were just right. The drilling platform had been there for a few weeks, but conditions were dismal and I gave up trying to get a good shot of it.

The day I got this, I was sitting in my office in the city centre and noticed the unusually colourful sunset. I drove like I'd never driven before - and then ran like I'd never run before (which isn't saying much, to be fair) - and made it to a suitable spot on the footpath just in time for the last few seconds of sunset. Within a minute of taking the shot, the sky was colourless.
