Roaming Settings & Lens

[Slammed172]

Well, made a recent trip to Scotland.

And I'm having trouble with manual settings and lenses.

Whats the best sort of settings to have for roaming with-out a tripod. I found myself taking about ten photos of each bit of stunning architecture scotland has to offer.

Also whats a good lens, I clearly went wrong with taking my sigma 10-20mm I know, but I don't know what would be best for roaming.

i used to love my 17-55 but sometimes it just could have been longer for candid street stuff etc but unless your going to carry 2 lenses your stuck

How does that differ to the kit lens ?

I did bring the wide angle for a reason, landscapes, as its pretty epic up t'north, but they didn't work out the best IMO.

its ALOT better if we are talking canon ?

yes its only 1mm wider but its f2.8 and has decent IS also its as sharp as weemans wit

They look cracking.

Got a Nikon bud, not sure on the difference.

in that case go burn in hell lol
dunno abut nikon tbh but i did find the range worked well enough just not for candid street stuff 85mm would have been better
