All my future zooms will be 2.8 minimum. that extra stop of speed is invaluable. IMO any lens even canon L glass needs to be stopped down a stop for optimum sharpness. Thats not to say its not sharp wide open (it is!) but if you are a geeky pixel peeper like myself the difference is obvious and...

Nice use of a wide angle Tom, although I'd clone those cranes out! I too have the Tamron 10-24 lens and its best at 10mm f5.6-8. Its pretty poor wide open to be honest but stopped down is very sharp in the central region, but the corners never really become sharp which isn't a problem for me as...

Thanks guys It still needs a little pp work by the looks of it, its a 3 exposure stack but was good enough for #18 on Explore today :D

Some lovely street stuff!

Lens corrections - manual - vertical, drop it to -20 Lighthouse by Brazo76, on Flickr

My advice would have been (as I note you asked the afternoon before your shoot!) to ignore flash altogether and focus on natural light, maybe with a reflector!

Cheers Dan, yep you nailed it, I went to Ogmore first and then for a quick check on Dunraven (again!) and the wet sand seduced me before an almighty storm rolled in only to clear 10 mins before sunset! Nice sunrise A_Cro and you can straighten the masts by using the vertical (manual) tool in...

Great shots and editing skillz! I'm amazed you can get a stable platform for whats a heavy ff camera on the end of a long pole!

stunning!

My favorite would be two but more could have been made of those sand dunes for a lead in line and better exposure balancing would equal much more vibrant and saturated colours. Looks like sky is washed out and foreground underexposed. I would agree with everything thats been said and reiterate...

Nope first of its kind:)

congrats to the winner,(deekay?) and thanks to those who voted for me!

Love the portrait adele, although checking out the large image critical focus has been missed on the eyes :o

I think you can have arty plane shots and I would count some of those above as just that. I did an sir show recently and loved it. Only thing I would say is that a lot of the shots are very samey. I saw a stunning plane shot taken at riat of al furzan but tbh the same shot has been taken before...

Nd8 is only a 3 stopper iirc, get one more and stack them for 6 stops, that would have given you 10-15 seconds in the same circumstances.

Do you mean the 75-300? 70-300 usm is a great lens for the price. Love the bokeh shot of the panda and the chimp! Edit. I see it's the macro kit lens version not the usd but great shots all the same.

Awesome pics as ever, #23 for me!

Close scrutiny mate:)

The lighting doesn't really show the subject as a sphere, more 2d than 3d. Also doesn't appear tack sharp when pixel peeping.

Thanks mate, your opinion means a lot. Re the wedding photography, what do you consider as pro gear? Are we talking ff and f1.4 for low light and flattering dof.
