Don't for get it is the tall ships race at Hartlepool next weekend, not sure If I will make it though.

This is an experimental shot I took using Anthony's Sigma 10-20 lens with some welders glass attached to an old filter bezel on front. This made an inspired economy big stopper, and allowed a 30 seconds long exposure. The final result out of the can was unsurprisingly green, a bit of desaturation later this is the result.

I really like this, what a bizarre idea, very well executed! Who needs expensive ND filters? I would perhaps use the skew tool to make it completely symettrical but I guess the tree in the background precludes total symettry.

Still no internet, but borrowing a friend's to post one image. Not the best, but the first one I came to. Will post more when have internet again
Can't seem to post my image, but have managed a link

Like the welder's glass image Graham. Really nice dreamy feel!

Good to see you all. Hope to make the next meet.

Nice shot Helen, thought it would be nice and sharp. I have not figured out how to link from Flickr since they changed the layout ether, you used to be able to do it from view all sizes.

This was the first time I have used a lens this wide, you have to consider the shot so much more, line distortion, little kids balloons and so on. I can see it could take a bit of getting used to. This lens is now on the top of my I want list.
