Great shot!! Nice panning too.
Let me guess, the mountain at Cadwell Park?
Got it in one!
Thanks, more luck than skill I think.

thanks
I know exactly what you mean. I get tempted to buy more kit to get me enthusiastic again.
I'm just trying to get out there more this year.
Dearest indecisive one,
I love the barrel distortion on my 10-20... I don't think you can go wide without it, but maybe that's the whole point ?!
Go buy one if you want wide. If you don't, choose something else or hush your noises :rasp:

^Great shot! Love those kind of photos with those gradients from orange to blue.
The seagull in the foreground is a nice touch too

Awesome. Lots of inspiration for next week.
Bet it was cold taking all those long exposures

Do you apply any sharpening when you resize your photos?
I apply a tiny bit, using unsharp mask - don't use the basic 'sharpen' tools.
It's not really cheating, as photos always look softer when you resize them anyway.

tbh that might not be a great example, sort exposure and super ISO
On long exposures or normal? Heres the best tip for everyone doing long exposures, turn OFF any stability control system
Its also taken with a tack sharp macro lens and a downsampled 24 megapixel file.

That shot was taken at f/2.8. So there's a reason straight away as to why it's not super sharp.
The sharpest aperture range on most lenses are around f/8 -f/11.
More expensive lenses are still pretty sharp at large apertures, but don't forget the effect of depth of field, which will make some parts of photos potentially softer.

Seems to fair pretty well in a lot of reviews. Here's a summary one:
It just comes down to what you want the lens for.
[h=4]Verdict[/h]Sigma has positioned the AF 17-70mm f/2.8-4.5 DC macro in one of the sweet spots of the market. It is priced beyond the (usually pretty crappy) kit zooms yet it still remains within the reach of budget shoppers. Even better than that it delivers a performance which matches and sometimes even exceeds more expensive lenses. This includes the in-house competition (AF 18-50mm f/2.8 EX) as well as genuine brand lenses (such as the Canon EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 USM IS). All in all the lens has only one really weak spot - 17mm at wide-open aperture where the extreme border performance is soft and vignetting is quite pronounced (but still not worse than the direct competition). At medium aperture settings the delivered quality is very impressive. Combine that with the quite decent build quality and fast AF and it doesn't need a genius to foresee that this lens will be a quite hot seller.

Mechanical Quality:

One of Mr Logan that I quite liked! I didn't crop the trainer out, unfortunately just missed a bit (I need a fast zoom)
Just spotted that! Very clever!

Nice shot Scott!
Where did you focus though? The foreground looks a little out of focus.
Did you use hyper focal distancing?

Cheers Dan! It was so dark up there I really stuggled to get focus on anything. Not sure what hyper focusing is?
Got a cracker from last night I need to upload!

Hyper focal distancing is about making the maximum possible range of distances in focus (in a nutshell).
So for landscape shots, where there are things in the foreground too (just like your shot), DON'T focus at infinity - focus at the hyperfocal distance instead so both the foreground and background are in focus.
It's kind of hard to explain, but google it and you'll see what I mean.
That shot would have been ideal for it.
