Just got back from Blighty...

[V6GTO]

...and took a couple of photos of this. I won't tell you who it belongs to, I'll let him do that

Shame about the grey skies and the rain.

What? The barge?

Do the pair of concrete shoes in the boot give the owner away?

[luca brazzi]

Correct

Great to meet you Martin. Shame about the weather though.

Here's my efforts with you 12-24mm

(Deliberately played with shadow and contrast)

What do you think of the Sigma, Steve?

Martin.

[luca brazzi]

There's a lot of distortion at the 12mm end at at the edges of the picture, but I love the effect on the photos I took with it.

Want one. Either the 12-24 Sigma, or the 10-22 Canon

I love the way lens distorts at the small end, best seen here in no. 2, making the sides of the car slope inwards towards the top. It's also great at distorting buildings. I don't think there's any problems with the quality of the images either, but at the price you wouldn't expect any!
Anyway, thanks for a great afternoon.

Martin.

PS - don't forget to test drive a Noble!

No - your tracking's out a tad though!

I think that lens is crawling on to my loooooooooong wants list now.


Damn this site!

[V6GTO]

Just one more!



Just wanted to show you I can operate PS (after a fashion)

That's truly remarkable Martin! You must have a folder called 'Bird's Arses'...

(I have too but it ain't got peacocks in it )
