Stunning! I'm glad you got rid of the RB ;) but I am rather jealous now! Great job Gally, awesome colour/car Lou :)

I've just put Hankook V12 Evos all round on mine £300 for the 4, and so far so good!

Love this mate, the colours are so vivid, and the exposure is spot on :) Just bought a ten stopper so had to go out and try it out today....Wastwater was my location of choice, 65 seconds in the drizzle! Even in colour the filter doesn't disappoint, with very little blue colour cast which is...

Always glass before body mate....I replaced the kit lens with a Sigma 17-70mm f2.8-4.5 and it's SUCH an improvement in image quality.

Some nice shots there. I'd upgrade the glass before the body. If you were upgrading the body though, i'd go to the xxd rather than a xxxd, as it'll be a more beneficial upgrade IMHO. I've been using my 450d now for almost 2 years and love it. Only now am I using it to it's potential, so...

Think i'll leave this as entry Ghost on the jetty by Martin Steele., on Flickr

Ghost on the jetty by Martin Steele., on Flickr Over exposed in camera to give a high key mono finish, with added ghost on the jetty. It's a very common spot, so thought i'd go for something a little bit different, but keeping the overall scene.

20 for me too.

180 second exposure... "That" jetty on Derwentwater by Martin Steele., on Flickr

Nah it doesn't sound strange to me, as between my 172, and now my 182, i've had a 426bhp Type R Scooby, and a 324bhp Turbo 2000....and the Clio would run rings around both for the fun factor alone :)

Cheers. These were taken with a Sigma 10-20mm f4-5.6 on a Canon 450d.

A couple from a moody, wet, generally horrible Sunday over the north east coast, Bamburgh and Dunstanburgh.... The calm before the storm by Martin Steele., on Flickr A clichéd shot from Dunstanburgh, every man and his dog has done this one, and much better too, but here's my take on it...

I do believe you are correct. I'd had a long ass, bad day with no sleep when I posted LOL! :)

I've heard a few people mention the Raynox "thing" (sorry, no idea what/how it works lol) and it seems they're well worth the money! Nice shots :)

Great idea for a thread.... One of my first landscapes... IMG_0064 by Martin Steele., on Flickr A couple of my favourite 2 years or so down the line... Black Rock cottage by Martin Steele., on Flickr Sunset by Martin Steele., on Flickr

Some great shots uploaded since my last visit. Scott - Regarding the whole aperture thing, landscapes I never drop to f/5, ever. My landscapes, and more so sunsets and rises, are almost always shot f/16-f/20, or if I have some prominent foreground, i'll shoot f/9-f/11....i'm not saying this is...

Cheers fellas :)

The RB would be me :)

Thanks folks Thanks Colin, it's got a couple of things done, cup spoiler, Skoda splitter and Scorpion exhaust....for now :) Cheers mate....I fully intend to head back up there at some point, so yeah, definitely, it's an epic road :)

Haven't really posted much/anything in here since buying the RB, so thought i'd share a couple of snaps from a couple of weeks ago when I was up on Skye/in the Highlands.....clearly not clean, but that's 700 miles of Scottish roads/weather for you :) 182 Skye by Martins_cars, on Flickr 182...

Cheers....it was a fantastic start to a fantastic day with those clouds :)

Awesome car Colin, possibly the best colour for a Vee and great pics Piers!

A little over budget, but this is what i'm using at the mo....it's light with it being CF,which was my main issue when going fell walking with all my gear.... http://www.jessops.com/online.store/products/82276/show.html

Any camera will take a decent pic if you have the eye for a shot....it's not the camera that makes it. What's your budget? P&S? CSC? Bridge? dSLR?

Some belting uploads recently folks :) A couple more from me... Neist Point by Martin Steele., on Flickr Good morning Skye by Martin Steele., on Flickr This one needs to be viewed large....if there is one road you need to drive in your life, it's this one, the pass to Applecross, Scotland...

Lightroom 4 and CS5.....Lightroom is everything you need though tbh.

Love this! Great capture :) Here's one after a pretty much non existent sunrise on Loch Lomond.... Loch Lomond cruisers by Martin Steele., on Flickr

Not massively big nah, I've driven all of it, including photographing and waiting for the light, in 3 days, but there are LOADS of photo opportunities everywhere. If you like landscape photography, it's a dream of a place, or wildlife too, with sea eagles, golden eagles, whales, dolphins, seals...

Yep, deffo!! When you headed onto the mainland, did you happen to go over the pass to Applecross? EPIC road, I have a 4 stitch pano to go on Flickr at some point of it, the 182 certainly enjoyed it, stunning road with stunning views.
